Originally produced in 1917 as a
basketball shoe. Today it has become something of a
status symbol for people of the "
punk" and "
emo" subcultures, although I don't understand why. Arguably one of the most popular sneakers
ever produced in America, nicknamed "chucks", after
basketball hall-of-famer
Charles H. Taylor. If you look at the Star
logo on the sneaker you can still see his name engraved into them today.
Still one of my favorite pairs of
sneakers. I guess that means I was punk when I was in
kindergarten. Who would have thought ?
Available in
high top or
low cut.
