Chuck Taylor's introduction of Converse shoes in 1917 marked the beginning of an era that would witness numerous remarkable moments in NBA history. Among these, Bill Russell's extraordinary achievement stands out: his incredible performance of scoring 30 points and grabbing 40 rebounds during Game 7 of the 1962 Finals greatly contributed to the Celtics' overtime victory. Recognizing the significance of this career-defining feat, Converse immortalized it in the form of the Chuck Taylor Low '30 and 40'. This iconic low top shoe, predominantly black and white, features elegant gold accents and exquisite leather detailing on the heel. Further paying homage to that historic day, the date, April 18, 1962, appears on the inside of the tongue.
