The Converse star may be instantly recognisable across the world today, but the
brand started out with humble origins as a manufacturer of basketball sneakers
over 100 years ago. Evolutions in technology and design saw the brand continue
to evolve, moving away from basketball to become a firm favourite among sports
legends, rock stars and celebrity figures.
Converse is today an essential style in every man and woman’s wardrobe, and the
Converse children’s collection at The Hut comprises varying designs of the brand’s
timeless All Star low-top and high-top styles for boys and girls.
Dating back to the end of the
Second World War, Dr. Martens was
born out of the unlikely marriage of
a German inventor and an English
family from Northamptonshire.
A robust construction comprising
soft leather uppers and soles
(originally made from tyre rubber)
saw Dr. Martens’ boots rise to
become the worker’s boot.
Dr. Martens was later inherited
by English subculture groups who
transformed the brand to give it its
iconic status as a symbol of rebellion
and revolution.
The Dr. Martens boot silhouette has
remained unchanged for decades,
and its signature look is retained
for the brand’s latest children’s
collection. Originally designed for
comfort and durability by a German
doctor, Dr. Martens’ leather
construction and air-cushioned sole
makes them a perfect fit for children.
