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).
