Converse One Star has evolved from the iconic All Star to meet the demands of higher quality basketball shoes, but hasn't quite caught on in the sport. They gained new popularity in the 1990s, when they could often be seen on the covers of Thrasher magazine as a popular shoe for skateboarders. But most notably they became part of the culture through their association with grunge music and Nirvana. In 1994, they became memorable thanks to Kurt Cobain, Nirvana's frontman, who was the last person to wear them.
Materials
Upper
Suede: leather cut from the back, while the fibers remain on the surface, suede is less prone to damage than nubuck.
Synthetics: unlike textile, synthetic fibers are stronger, more durable and quick-drying.
Sole
Rubber: a material that is very easy to maintain and you will appreciate it especially in rainy weather.
