Chuck Taylor
The Converse All-Star shoe, one of the first especially designed for when playing basketball, was introduced in the 1910s. Taylor started wearing them in 1917 as a high school basketball player. A.G. Spalding had already been making a basketball-model shoe for nearly two decades.) In 1921, Taylor went to the Converse Shoes Chicago sales offices in search of a job, where S.R. "Bob" Pletz, an avid sportsman, then hired him.
Within a year, Taylor's suggestions of changing the design of the shoe to provide enhanced flexibility and support, and also including patch to protect the ankle, were adopted. The All-Star star logo was then immediately included on the patch. By 1923 Chuck Taylor's name was added to the patch, and the shoe became the Chuck Taylor All-Stars.
