Converse barcode lookup
Type the digits under the bars on a Converse box. The code that ends in C, such as 162050C, is the style number.
Converse style numbers end in C
Converse writes a style number as six digits and the letter C, or on newer shoes as A, five digits and C. Converse.com lists the Chuck Taylor All Star Leather as 132173C in White and 132174C in Black. The UK site lists the classic black low top as M9166C, and the US site shows the same shoe as M9166, without the C. Our catalogue holds the Chuck 70 Hi Black as 162050C and the Chuck Taylor All Star Throwback Low as A19080C.
A converse.com code that ends in MP, such as 135253MP, is the page of a model in many colours. It is not a style number. The label inside the tongue carries the style number, the size and a barcode, and it must match the box label.
Barcodes we hold
On 9 November 2026 we held 71,254 Converse barcodes for 5,510 Converse styles, and for most of those styles we hold the size run: the median style has 11 sizes, the middle half 5 to 17. Another 14,366 Converse styles (72%) are in our catalogue with no barcode yet, so a real barcode of one of those styles returns no result. Of the barcodes, 68% are 12-digit UPC-A and 32% are 13-digit EAN-13.
Company blocks
The first 7 digits of the 13-digit form are the company block, and the 5 largest of the 306 Converse blocks hold 70% of the Converse barcodes we hold.

What a match proves
A match shows that the number is a Converse barcode in our data and names its style and size: check them against the style number and the size on the box and inside the shoe, such as A19080C on the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Throwback Low Black Vintage White. A match does not show that the pair is original, because a copied box can carry a real barcode, as the guide on what a barcode check can tell you explains.
