  Chuck Taylor (salesman) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Taylor was born in Brown County, Indiana in 1901, and grew up in Columbus, Indiana, one county to the east.
During WWII, Taylor became fitness consultant for the war effort - and by one of those amazing coincidence, GIs soon were doing their calisthenics in the white high-top Chuck Taylor sneakers that became the official sneaker of the US Armed Forces.
In 1968, Chuck Taylor was named to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts - but he had already been named to the Sporting Goods Hall of Fame a decade earlier, in 1958.

 The Original All Star
Taylor proved to be a better shoe salesman than anyone at Converse could have imagined.

Taylor was later elected to two halls of fame for his work with Converse - the Sporting Goods Hall of Fame in 1958, and the Basketball Hall of Fame as a contributor after his retirement from Converse in 1968.
