Converse trainers are an instantly recognisable shoe for many people and it seems as though they are popular in celeb-land too.

They have many famous fans, according to the Murray States News, and everyone from pop princess Rihanna to rapper and film star Will Smith have been seen in them.

Other bands and musicians who often strut their stuff in the iconic trainers include Green Day, Pearl Jam and the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.

The news provider continues: "Owning a pair of Chucks can be compared to owning an important piece of pop culture history.

It adds that they "continue to make numerous appearances on celebrity feet, with rock stars, athletes and musicians rocking the sneakers".

For a real rock star look, Virtual Festival suggests a pair of Converse trainers as the perfect item of footwear to sport at a music festival this summer.
