Converse is a brand with a surprisingly long and rich history, and while since the '90s the name has been largely associated with skater culture and casual, American style, it was first popularised as the main manufacturer of basketball shoes. As other brands like Nike, Puma and Reebok entered the market, Converse's monopoly on sports shoes was lost, however, thanks to their iconic style converse shoes were reborn as a casual fashion staple, which has never really gone out of style. Converse shoes tend to stick to a few basic designs in terms of shape, but when it comes to the outer look there have been special editions featuring everything from DC comics characters to designs inspired by Pink Floyd and Nirvana. Shop with Converse and as well as comfortable, fashionable trainers, you'll also discover shorts, tees, shirts and hoodies for both men and women. With kids ranges too in both shoes and clothing, there's nothing that Converse can't conquer.
