As fashion icons, Chuck Taylors have played a role in several subcultures, which the company has promoted as part of the brand's ongoing cultural popularity.
Seventy-one-year-old Pete Bennett set a world record for the squat in his age class at 465 pounds 211 kg in a pair of Chuck Taylors.
Although Chuck Taylors are made of various materials such as leather or suede, the original and most widely known version of the shoe is made from cotton.
