1908
The Converse Rubber Company was started in 1908. They started producing Chuck Taylor All-Stars, also known as Converse All-Stars in 1917, so tin 2011, Converse (All-Stars) are 94 years old.
This would be logically equivalent to the conditional you started with.
Around 1917 to 1921. 1917 was when the Converse All-Star brand was introduced. 1921 was when Charles Taylor started work for Converse and shortly after that what we now call as Chuck Taylors were coined.
The company was founded in 1908, there have been over 800 million sold since the company started producing them. The first Converse Sneaker that we know today was made in 1966. Converse is an American made product.
Converse sneakers were invented in 1917, while Vans sneakers were created in 1966. Therefore, Converse sneakers were invented before Vans.
Marquis M. Converse came up with the idea for Converse when he was wearing shoes that had no rubber sole and he slipped down some stairs. He came up with the idea of rubber soled shoes so people would have grip and that is when the Converse Rubber Shoe Company started in 1908.

Marquis Converse was the woman who originally invented Converse sneakers. Converse was really her last name, so that is how that started. Chuck Taylor came in when everybody discovered how good he was at basketball, so Chuck earned the privilege to design one of the bestselling basketball shoes ever. Unfortunately, Converse sneakers went bankrupt in 2001, with lack of selling the sneakers, so Nike bought them out 2 years later (2003).
