Converse, Inc.
About
Converse is the globally known sneaker brand, and its Boston flagship store sits in the North End near TD Garden, close to the company’s world headquarters. Shoppers can browse the brand’s footwear, including exclusive styles, and customize their own sneakers through an immersive in-store experience that the company describes as a celebration of creativity and self-expression. The flagship is the brand’s retail showcase in its home city.
The company traces its roots to Malden, Massachusetts, where it was founded in 1908. Its All Star basketball shoe, introduced in 1917, later took the name of Chuck Taylor, the player and salesman who promoted it, and became the brand’s best-known sneaker. Converse has been owned by Nike since 2003 and moved its world headquarters to Lovejoy Wharf on the Boston waterfront in 2015.
