I go to lots of concerts, and overwhelmingly, the footwear of choice is the Converse All Star.
But this shoe is not new - oh no! The Converse All Star has been around for - get this - almost 80 years! Yes, indeed, 1917 is the date that the Converse All Star was first produced, if you can believe it. And since I've yet to see a picture of a flapper wearing these shoes, I do, quite frankly, have a hard time believing it! But it is, indeed, a fact.
There are about 400 different versions of the All Star produced every year (and that does not include the knock-offs!). Since 1923, over 750 million pairs have been sold.
