Are you referring to Converse shoes? Also referred to as "Cons", "Connies", "Chuckers", "Chucks", "Converse", "Chuckies", "Chuckie T's", or "Chucker Boots" for the higher styles, for decades the Chuck Taylor All Star basketball shoe only came in black, or in white starting in 1947. Under pressure from basketball teams it was decided in 1966 to manufacture other colors. Different materials began to appear also, starting in the 1970s, such as leather, suede and vinyl, and even hemp, rather than just canvas. Besides high-tops, low-cuts and later knee-high versions were produced. After Converse was bought by Nike and operations were moved from the United States to overseas, the design has had a few alterations. The fabric is no longer 2-ply cotton canvas but 1-ply "textile" and many wearers have noticed different patterns of wear. http://tinyurl.com/2c5nfm
