Here are some fun facts from The One Hundred by Nina Garcia:
60% of Americans claim to have owned at least one pair of Converse in their lives.
Converse high-tops are also called Chuck Taylors, because in 1918, a high-school basketball star, Chuck Taylor, began wearing them. He later promoted and lent his name to the sneakers.
I think Converse sneakers are terrific. These days my favorite version is the white Jack Purcell (above). They go with jeans, shorts, summer dresses, and casual skirts. Love them!
