Popularized by basketball player (and Converse salesman) Chuck Taylor, Converse sneakers have been around since the 1920s. They may as well have a place in the rock and roll hall of fame; worn by everyone from The Ramones to Kurt Cobain “Chucks” (from the signature at the star ankle patch) have been adopted as part of the requisite rocker ensemble.

Fear not these sneaks aren’t just for moshers and shredders; the clean lines and comfortable light weight provide a sharp and versatile style that works in the closets of soccer moms and hip-hop heads alike. At less than your monthly cable bill, why not get a pair?
