Converse are actually made from 3 different materials so it depends which material your converse are. Canvas don't, suede do and leather do.
somewhere around 1908
Canvas is the most common material for Converse, but they are also made out of suede and rubber. I'm sure there are other materials they are made out of, but I'm not sure what they are exactly.
