<\/p>\n
Mr. Converse founded his rubber shoe company in the United States in 1903. They started producing athletic shoes in 1915. They designed a basketball-specific high-top sneaker in 1917.<\/p>\n
Chuck Taylor, a basketball player, became the brand’s salesperson and spokesperson in 1923. His name was added on the shoe in 1932.<\/p>\n
Team USA Basketball won the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, wearing Converse high-top Chucks.<\/p>\n
Can you imagine that this canvas and rubber shoe was worn by athletes at the time?<\/p>\n
You’ll damage your heels if you jump in these shoes. Probably pretty heavily because the soles are not suitable for sport purposes. We now know better.<\/p>\n
Converse, on the other hand, was the most popular sport shoe brand in the United States for decades. Then, in the 1970s, other brands from other countries, such as Adidas and Puma from Germany, started to challenge their control.<\/p>\n
Converse made a great comeback later on, thanks to the invention of the category “lifestyle sneakers” – sneakers for everyday use, not simply for athletics.<\/p>\n
Design partnerships, limited editions, and design variations such as low-top, heeled versions, numerous colors, and so forth are now available.<\/p>\n
Converse sneakers may be seen in over 650 movies. I believe that qualifies as iconic, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n
The normal all-star high-top Chucks cost $70, or even less if they’re on sale.<\/p>\n
Is the tale worth that much money, in your opinion?<\/p>\n
<\/span>Dr. Martens 1460<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"Dr.](\"https:\/\/www.fashionacy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Dr-Martens-1460.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
In 1945, German doctor Klaus M\u00e4rtens damaged his ankle and found that his army boots were inadequate for the circumstance.<\/p>\n
As a result, he designed new boots with softer leather and air in the sole. Since it was immediately after the war, he used old tires from discarded warplanes.<\/p>\n
Then he started producing the shoe in Munich, and the company gradually flourished.<\/p>\n
The shoe was particularly popular among women in their forties and fifties who had back and hip problems. Because the soles were indeed comfy and the shoes were robustly manufactured, they were popular among postmen and industry employees.<\/p>\n
Griggs bought the brand in 1959 and renamed it Dr. Martens, which is simpler to pronounce for English speakers. They also added yellow top-stitching to the sole and altered the heel shape for comfort.<\/p>\n
He also invented the “air wair” sole mechanism, which he trademarked. Smart man.<\/p>\n
When The Who donned Dr. Martens on stage at a concert in 1967, the shoe’s popularity skyrocketed.<\/p>\n
Punk in the 1970s, grunge in the 1990s, it became a symbol of subcultures. You will recognize a pair of Dr. Martens on the street nowadays because they are so well-known.<\/p>\n
The majority of production was shifted from England to Thailand in 2003. And the design and quality of the product did change.<\/p>\n
If you were there during the grunge era in the 1990s and have a pair of Dr. Martens from before 2003, I recommend keeping them.<\/p>\n
Dr Martens retail at \u00a3149. However, be wary of fakes; they are ubiquitous. Always purchase from a reputable vendor. The sole system is trademarked, thus fakes will not be of the same quality. Don’t be fooled by them.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Chanel Two-tone Slingback Heels<\/span><\/h2>\n![\"Chanel](\"https:\/\/www.fashionacy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Chanel-two-tone-slingback-heels.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Massaro designed this French shoe in 1957, and the Chanel shoes are still produced today.<\/p>\n
Miss Chanel believed she had short legs and large feet, so she desired a shoe that would lengthen her legs while shortening her feet. That’s why the heel is exposed, allowing you to see more leg, and the toes are black, as though the shoe is short and the feet are little.<\/p>\n
Because women in the 1950s were passionate about flattering shapes and accessories, this design was a hit. Functional design actually solved an aesthetic problem!<\/p>\n
The flat-heeled ballerina adaptation is still popular today. It was made popular by Audrey Hepburn, who demonstrated that a woman does not have to wear heels to look feminine. Audrey, thank you!<\/p>\n
The price starts at CAN$1,250.<\/p>\n
What do you think: is it worth?<\/p>\n
