Original Laser-Detailed Leather All Star (White) Overview
These vintage inspired Converse All Stars commemorate the New York Renaissance (a.k.a. "Harlem Rens") legendary African American basketball team of the 1920s, 30s, and 40s.
This classic Converse All Star style features the company's pre-Chuck Taylor ankle logo design, with an upper made of laser-detailed leather with intricate etching inspired by the art-deco ballroom style of the 1920s and 1930s. The etchings are reminiscent of men's "wing-tip" dress shoes.
The tongue includes an iconic logo of a couple dancing, from a Renaissance Ballroom dance program of that period. The Renaissance Ballroom in Harlem (New York City) was built in 1923 and was the home court of the world's champion New York Renaissance basketball team. Converse outfitted the Rens with its then-state-of-the-art shoes.
