Quest Pistols # 23

Question

Today,this man's name is synonymous with a cult in the world of trends and fashion.From the street basketball kids of America to The Ramones and Kurt Cobain,everyone joined the bandwagon during their times,so must have many of those reading this.

Name the person and the thing being talked about.



Answer


The person in the image is Chuck Taylor.


Chuck Taylor is immortalised in the world of fashion through Chuck Taylor All Stars,popularly known as Converse All Stars sneakers.


The shoes were not particularly popular until basketball player Chuck Taylor adopted them as his preferred shoe. He was impressed with the design so he became the shoe's leading salesman. After proposing a few changes to the shoe, the shoe got its current name and Chuck Taylor's signature on its ankle patch. (The Converse star in the image was a definite hint.)
