Duke69,
Yes, I believe he was a basketball player who became affiliated with the All Star Converse brand. Much the same as today's super expensive Michael Jordan's (Air Jordan's) sneakers.
I'll take a pair of Cons, with the star on the side, anyday!

Had lots of friends on 187th st and Arthur ave in early sixties. went to all the feasts and loved all the Italian specialty stores.Used to go to soccer games I think the teams were Milano and FordhamItalians

Since I work for a living and am on a budget I often take advantage of "free days" at various cultural attractions in New York City. -Michael |
