Question

go well with loose-fit jeans, or ones with a tighter fitting?
Thanks for replies x

Answer 1

You know what sucks? Trends. I think Converse sneakers are really cute, but I don't wear them because EVERYBODY wears them. Thats the same way with cowboy boots...I use to wear them before they became a "trend", but if I wear them now I just feel stupid.

I think they would look best with loose-fit jeans.

Answer 2

Converse are NEVER out of sytle. The ol' Chuck Taylor's are versatile and dependable. I think they go with either types of jeans but I had to choose ONE, then I'd say tighter jeans.

Chuck Taylor All-Stars are canvas and rubber shoes produced by Converse. They were first produced in 1917 as the "All-Star", Converse's attempt to capture the basketball shoe market. They were not particularly popular until basketball player Chuck Taylor adopted them as his preferred shoe. He was so impressed with the design that he became the shoe's leading salesman. After proposing a few changes to the shoe, the shoe got its current name and Chuck Taylor's signature on its ankle patch.

Consumers demanded more color and variety from the shoe, as well as basketball teams in order to match colors, so colored and patterned shoelaces became popular to complement the two colors, black and white, available before 1966. Afterwards, more colors became available as did styles. A low-top or "Oxford" and high-top versions, and later knee-high versions were produced. More materials were offered for the construction, including leather, suede, vinyl, and hemp. Some versions of the shoe were offered that were without laces, and held up by elastic. These new versions of the shoe were also co-designed by Chuck Taylor, shortly before his death in 1969.

After Converse was bought by Nike and operations were moved from the United States to overseas, the design has had a few alterations. The fabric is no longer 2-ply cotton canvas but 1-ply "textile" and many wearers have noticed different patterns of wear.

Wearers of All-Stars admire the individuality of the distinctive colors, design, and sole of the shoe. They are available in several core colors, seasonal colors, and a variety of print styles. Fans of punk rock have adopted the shoe as a fashion trend since the late-1970s and many popular punk rock bands, famously the Ramones have supported the trend by wearing the sneakers. They have also been popular in hip-hop culture, specifically in the early nineties days of G-funk and gangsta rap. There has been a recent re-adoption of them in modern hip hop culture.

A full biography of Chuck Taylor was published by Indiana University Press in March 2006 under the title Chuck Taylor, All Star: The True Story of the Man Behind the Most Famous Athletic Shoe in History, with Foreword by Dean Smith.

Also referred to as "Cons","Connies", "Chuckers", "Chucks", "P.K. Flyers" or "Chucker Boots" for the higher styles.
