Converse One Star

Yesterday I bought a pair of Converse One Star, One Star? When did Converse start making One Star and whats the difference between Converse One Star and Converse All Stars?, I asked myself.

So I Google to get the answer,so here it goes.......

Converse took its style in a new direction with the introduction of the One Star model in 1974. The low-cut sneaker became a skateboarding staple in the '70s and '80s. (http://www.boston.com/business/gallery/converse100?pg=15)

In the 1970's, Converse marketed at least four suede sneaker models similar to the classic "Chuck Taylor" All Star canvas basketball shoe. They were very similar. The major difference between the shoes were patterns on the side. These models included:

1. The "One Star", which used the standard All Star sole.
2. A "stripe-star-stripe" model, which used the standard All Star sole.
3. A "star and chevron" model, which used a slightly modified All Star sole.
4. A three-striped model in the COACH line.

What is the difference between Converse One Star and just regular Converse All Stars?

For one its cheaper, basically, you pay half the price! Other than that not much as far as I can see, essentially the shoe structure is the same.

Did you that Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, deceased punk rock singer, was wearing black One Star sneakers when he shot himself.
