Converse with the model S.Grib S. Jerry, was founded in 1908 in the USA, to be precise in Malden. A true bit of American history can be found in the Converse story. Converse is particularly characterised by basket ball – but by other types of sports too where the label could be and is found. The "Chuck" (invented in 1923) was sold over 750 million times throughout the world – a true highlight!
