The first signature basketball shoes, these shoes are still worn all over the US today, but not for playing basketball. This shoe is made of a rubber sole and a canvas upper, designed to be an elite shoe for the professional basketball league. They were the most popular basketball shoe for quite some time, and then they fell out of fashion on the court. However, they are still popular as casual wear, and are still being worn a lot. As basketball shoes became more durable, the All Stars fell out of fashion on the court, but people started wearing them off the court because of their timeless fashion. This lead to basketball shoes that are no longer convenient on the court to be worn as casual shoes. Chuck Taylor's are now seen on lots of musicians and artists, and have completely vanished from the basketball scene. If you ask someone born in the 1980s or 90s, they will probably say that the All Stars were originally for casual wear.
