  • Real Marketing 9.2 Converse: an Old Brand Story with a New Beginning
    Real Marketing 9.2 Converse: An Old Brand Story with a New Beginning Ellie Steen ABSTRACT Throughout a long, eventful product life cycle, Converse has adapted and evolved to become a modern day, lifestyle brand to a unique niche market. How has a company, founded in 1908, been able to make it to the 21st Century? The Converse story shows how a company’s product life cycle evolves and how to adapt a product and brand image to survive over 100 years. Marquis Mills Converse founded the Converse Rubber Shoe Company in 1908 in Malden, MA. In 1917 the Converse All Star sneaker became the first performance basketball shoe. In the 1920’s, well-known basketball player—Chuck Taylor—became an endorser for the sneaker and even offered ideas for the improvement of the design. Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers, or “Chucks”, were worn by basketball players from amateurs to professionals and even by the first team to win the first World’s Championship. During the 1940’s, Converse shifted to producing boots for the U.S. Army and Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers for basic training during World War II. Converse remained popular throughout the 1950’s with the great social changes and a rebelling generation. The sneaker market exploded in the 1980’s and with new competitors such as Nike and Addidas, Converse’s market share dropped to 1% leading them to declare bankruptcy in 2001. Nike stepped in and bought Converse on the cheap, assigned them new management, provided some fresh cash and gave Converse the opportunity to come back to life.

  • 1 Converse V. Everybody
    Converse v. Everybody: How Would This Litigation Change or Remain in Foreign Jurisdictions? I. Introduction Baseball, apple pie and July fourth barbecues. Since the turn of the century, these past times have been staples of American culture. The same can be said for the Converse All- Star “Chuck Taylor” basketball shoe. No sneaker embodies the rebellious American spirit like the Chuck Taylor All-Star.1 It was in 1908 when the Converse Rubber Corporation opened its doors, initially starting out as a galosh-producing shoe company. 2 But with the popularity of basketball on the rise, the Converse Corporation felt the need to develop a shoe that people could wear while playing basketball. 3 After extensive amounts of research and development, the All-Star became the first mass- produced basketball shoe in North America. 4 Due in part to its very thick rubber sole and an ankle-covering canvas, the All- Star was slow to embrace the feet of the American people. 5 However, this trend would not endure. Charles H. Taylor was a basketball player for the Akron Firestones. 6 He believed in the All-Star so much that in 1921 he joined the Converse sales force, and later became the player/coach 7 for the Converse All-Stars, the company’s industrial league basketball team. 8 Because Taylor was so successful in promoting the All-Star, as well as in making 1 important changes to the shoe design, his name “Chuck Taylor” was added to the ankle patch. 9 Soon thereafter, basketball teams and American children were wearing Converse “Chuck Taylor” All- Stars.10 After World War II, the classic black and white Chuck Taylor All-Star was introduced in 1949.

  • Department of Justice Filed a Civil Antitrust Suit to Prevent Converse
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MONDAY, JULY 3, 1972 The Department of Justice filed a civil antitrust suit today to prevent Converse Rubber Corporation of Malden, Massachusetts, from leasing, with an option to purchase, the rubber-canvas footwear operations of the B. F. Goodrich Company of Akron, Ohio. Attorney General Richard G. Kleindienst said the suit asked for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction blocking the scheduled July 5 transaction, until a final determination of the suit. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Boston, also asked for a permanent injunction against the transaction. Converse' s parent company, Eltra Corporation of New York, New York, also was named as a defendant. Converse, Goodrich and Eltra had entered into an agreement in principle on May 17 under which Converse was to lease, for a 12-year period and with an option to purchase, the Goodrich rubber-canvas footwear plant in Lumberton, North Carolina, as well as all related machinery and equipment located at two other Goodrich footwear plants in Elgin, South Carolina and Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. OVER - 2 The agreement also included separate leases by Converse of the Goodrich footwear distribution and warehouse facilities in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Lawrence, Kansas, and the sale or assignment of substantially all of Goodrich's rubber-canvas footwear patents, trademarks and brand nam.es to Converse. The suit charged that the proposed transaction, which would transfer the entire rubber-canvas footwear operations of Goodrich's Footwear Division to Converse, would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act by eliminating competition and increasing concentration in the manufacture and sale of canvas shoes, rubber-canvas shoes, and national brand canvas shoes.

The overall success of this industry can be traced back to the growing demand dictated by the decades-long trend of the cult of the body. The market leaders include companies whose origins date back to the 1930s, whose internationalization was of evolutionary nature, and the so-called latecomers,relative newcomers to the market who havegained the reputation of global players in a short time. The aim of this study is to present the world’s largest companies in the athletic apparel and accessories industry (global companies), and define the importance of their capital internationalization in building the international market position. To this end, a variety of sources were consulted, including the Statista, Macrotrends, EquityRT, periodical rankings published by organizations and consulting companies, such as the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Interbrand, as well as lists of the largest companies presented in the Fortune journal.
