when Converse first released

Since 1986 -- when Converse first released "The Weapon" basketball shoe and become mass trend, I can't stop being fan and wearing Converse a.k.a "The Chuck Taylor" All Star shoe. Never mind some people call me old school or cheapo. I always like the leather construction throughout including the inside heel of this shoe, aside from its never-die style for all occasions. Nowadays, all cool kids must have tried this retro sneaker at least once in their lifetime!
