Kurt Cobain Black Chuck Taylor All Star Converse
Posted by admin on August 27th, 2008 filed in News
He haunted Seattle’s music scene, withdrawing into its grit and grime. He thought some of it made sense, but most of it didn’t. So he turned to the only thing he knew for sure: his music. Soon it became clear; the inspired songwriter with scruffy hair and stormy eyes had taken the underground grunge movement mainstream. Converse invokes Kurt Cobains spirit with these Kurt Cobain Black Chuck Taylore All Star Converse. These shoes feature a canvas upper with lyrics from “Come As You Are” and “Dumb”. Available now at Converse.com

I’ll just copy and paste my old comment since it’s still relevant to this crap.
_________________
This is the same marketing bullshit that Kurt Cobain was always saying he was against. The only difference is, they’ve targeted HIS audience and are now feeding YOU this crap and he’s not alive to have a say in it (unfortunately). I highly doubt Kurt would be happy about this as he was obviously extremely private. What’s also lame is the fact that people are going to be paying top dollar for a pair of artificially worn out shoes with his signature stamped/embroidered on them. Why?
If this is something he would’ve wanted to be done, he would’ve done it while he was alive or would’ve have pitched the idea. If he would’ve wanted people wearing his most personal thoughts on their fucking feet he would’ve published his journals on his own and been cool with this.
You’ve still got the music, the sound, the voice, the lyrics, the artwork… isn’t that enough? Isn’t that what it’s all about? This is the kind of crap that causes people to forget what they enjoyed most about Kurt in the first place: the music.
Screw forking out your cash for these bullshit shoes and marketing schemes. Get your own pair and write your own personal thoughts on them. Do it yourself.
Listen to the music and don’t buy into this disrespectful garbage. Nirvana got big because of their music. People felt a connection to Kurt because of the music and lyrics. Don’t let that die too.
These fucker’s are going to milk every last drop of the man even after his death. And of course Courtney Love is backing this shit. Your true colors and motives show even brighter with time. Money, $$$$$$$$$$$$!
So, fuck her, fuck the shoes, fuck the books, fuck the documentaries, fuck the rumors, fuck the bad imitations, fuck the boring and pretentious movies, fuck it all. Just put on the albums and remember what it really felt like, what it really meant to you. What it still means to you after all these years. That’s what it’s all about, not this ridiculous bullshit.

I´m from Brazil and I am a Nirvana´s fan too. I hate the way that the media use the Cobain´s particular stuffs ´cause he didn´t like it. He never said that the non necessary thigs was always a big shit. So fuck the shoes, fuck all the non necessary stuff. Kurt knows that the true fans don´t need that ridiculous “bullshit”. Kurt, I´ll always love you and your songs. For http://www.kurtcobain.com : I love this web site.
Hugs and kisses from Brazil:::)))

Yeah I know what you mean Chucks are cool but Cortney Love is doing what she did with the mixed albums and all of his stuff, getting the money and well to be honest they dont even look like something that Cobain would even let go. No true Nirvana fan would wear them if someone does they are just posers
