Converse’s ” One Star” is one of the most famous low-toe sneakers of all time. As the model name suggests, the simple design with a single star on the side is one of the most popular among Converse sneakers. In this issue, we focus on Converse’s “ONE STAR” and introduce its charm!

The timeless iconic Converse “One Star” sneaker

The One Star was born in 1974 as a pair of basketball shoes. The “One Star” is known as one of Converse’s representative sneakers along with the All Star and Jack Purcell. 1969 saw the launch of the “Stars & Bars” basketball shoes with leather uppers, which won the support of many players for their high-quality genuine leather uppers and excellent durability. The One Star, which required advanced manufacturing technology, was not suitable for mass production at the time, and it was difficult to secure a stable supply of high-quality leather, so production was discontinued after only two years. The One-Star was considered the highest quality Converse sneaker of all time, but it was no longer available, and the One-Star became a legendary sneaker.

In 1984, about eight years after the discontinuation, the smooth leather “One Star” was reissued in Japan. Later, suede, mid-cut, and Velcro models were developed, and the One Star was sublimated to become a symbolic Converse item. Currently, in addition to the smooth leather One Star, which is similar to the original model, the predecessor model, Star & Bars, is being developed. Incidentally, the image below shows the Star & Bars.
