  • In July 2021, Christian news outlets reported that sneaker brand Converse had replaced the iconic All-Star label on its shoes with a satanic symbol. Converse Unveils Designer Shoes with Satanic Symbol Replacing Brand’s Star Logo, Faithwire reported. More Corporate Satanism: 'Converse' Unveils New Occult Shoe Line, the Media Research Center reported. Converse hasn't replaced the All-Star logo, which famously adorns its classic Chuck Taylors. The new symbology is instead the result of a collaboration between Converse and DRKSHDW, the brand run by goth-inspired fashion designer Rick Owens. The logo for DRKSHDW contains a pentagram, or five-point star, although the DRKSHDW pentagram contains one exaggerated point. The DRKSHDW-branded shoes, some of which contain the pentagram logo and also the All Star logo, can be viewed by clicking on this gallery. A spokesperson for Nike, which owns Converse, told Snopes in an email: In an Instagram post promoting the brand collaboration, Owens explained why he uses the pentagram in his own work: In modern American culture, the pentagram is often associated with pagan belief systems like Wicca. A pentagram with a goat skull inside it is also used as the symbol for The Satanic Temple, but that group doesn't literally worship Satan or any other deity, and is instead composed of atheists who advocate for pluralism.
