This was down to the fact that Converse canvas shoes were quick-drying and easy to wear on the beach. Then, as if often the case, they began to shift from one counterculture to another. As the underground skate scene grew in the ’80s and ’90s, Converse too began to gain popularity among skateboarders, who needed shoes that offered grip and flexibility, as well as ankle support. A legendary affiliation was born.

These style icons are ready for the grind.
CONVERSE SKATE SHOES: STEP BETWEEN PAST AND PRESENT
It doesn’t get much more iconic than the retro style of the Chuck Taylor All Star, but there are plenty of other Converse skateboarding shoes on offer. For a more modern look, opt for the Converse Star Player. Just like the All Stars, they don’t skimp on grip and traction, but the upper is constructed from a combination of canvas, for breathability, and leather, for added abrasion-resistance and durability. Perfect for slick tricks at the skatepark or everyday styling.
Whether it’s board, beach or court, you can be sure of one thing — Converse canvas will never go out of style.
