Awesome Shoe!
Mr. Charles "Chuck" Taylor, a childhood basketball star, Started work at Converse in 1921. During his basketball days his shoe of choice was the Converse All Star. When he started working at converse he began to help with the restyling of the All Star to make it an even better basketball shoe. In honor of all of his work, Chuck Taylor's signature was added to the All Star patch in 1923. Taylor worked year round traveling and promoting the shoe to basketball players and coaches across the country. His efforts a credited with not only popularising the All Stars but also the sport its self. The reason the Chuck Taylor All Star patch was on the inside of shoe; the patches purpose and placement was to protect the ankle bone of the player.
