These sneakers are among the most famous in American history. First launched by Converse in the 1920s and virtually unchanged since, name this iconic shoe.

Also known as "Cons" or "Chucks," the first Chuck Taylors were released in the 1920s and have always consistently been made from cotton canvas, though more recent versions have been made from leather and other materials. These were innovative when they first came out - created with a "loose lining" of soft canvas to be more comfortable and stave off blisters.
