Converse is a Nike-owned sneaker company built around the Chuck Taylor All Star, the canvas basketball shoe it has sold since the 1920s, plus the Chuck 70, One Star, Run Star and Weapon, with supporting apparel. It maintains long-running collaborations such as the Comme des Garcons Play line. Nike bought the brand in 2003 and still operates it from Boston. Revenue fell roughly 30 percent across fiscal 2026, triggering February 2026 layoffs and a new CEO, Aaron Cain; Nike chief Elliott Hill said in April 2026 that Converse is not for sale.

Does Converse run big or small?

Converse fits slightly large. Take your usual size for a relaxed look, or size down one if you want a closer, cleaner fit (note: Chuck Taylor footwear is widely said to run about a half size large). Converse apparel is generally close to true to size but cut on the roomier, more relaxed side, so most shoppers get a slightly loose streetwear fit in their normal size.
