Kurt Cobain Converse Collection
Posted by admin on March 17th, 2008 filed in News
Converse has given Kurt Cobain his own signature collection of shoes. Now available and shipping worldwide at Converse.com, Converse is currently producing a limited-edition series of Kurt Cobain footwear as part of the company’s 100th anniversary sales campaign, dubbed “Welcome to the Converse Century.” Each shoe is littered with drawings and writings that were published in 2002’s Kurt Cobain Journals. Several new models of Kurt Cobain shoes are coming with the Converse One Star model and a series of high-top Chucks already confirmed, according to NirvanaClub.com.
Distressed in the way Kurt Cobain wore them, the shoes provide a rarely seen glimpse into the head of this musical and lyrical genius with sketches that display his hopes, dreams and lyrics from amazing songs such as Come As You Are.
To further pay tribute to the late singer, three of the Converse shoes that Cobain was often seen wearing will be reflected in the new collection which includes versions of Chuck Taylor All Star, Jack Purcell and One Star shoes. To make the collection even more unique, they’ll have wear and fray detailing and Kurt Cobain’s signature subtly embroidered on the shoe’s outer.The shoes will be made available in black and white versions and should retail for around $50 - $65. The product line comes with the full cooperation of Courtney Love and the Estate of Kurt Cobain. Converse will release the full details of the shoes in April.

March 19th, 2008 at 11:33 pm
i think they’re awesome, and a strange but amazing way to honor his memory, i’m glad they didn’t take it too far and put anything inappropraite regarding his personal life.
March 20th, 2008 at 8:39 am
omgg i wantt somee
March 20th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
if you buy them you agree with courtney
March 21st, 2008 at 10:42 am
Just because it says Courtney Love.. doesn’t mean a lot. Think of how Kurt woulda liked this.
And, it says the drawings and stuff were published in books already, so that doesn’t really matter.
March 22nd, 2008 at 11:00 pm
an interesting way to honor Kurt…..I don’t think he would have liked that….but cool, i guess
March 23rd, 2008 at 6:30 am
man this shit is wack, for a man who valued the privacy of his personal writings so much and for converse to fuckin publish his thoughts on peoples feet is fucken degrading and shows a complete lack of respect for the man that he was.
March 23rd, 2008 at 9:46 am
Monkey, I totally agree with you, I’m totally going to buy one of these
xx I
March 23rd, 2008 at 5:11 pm
I think it’s an awesome idea, but I think ya should respect his privicy i little more, and just put song lyrics instead of stuff from his journals. Putting his name is a great idea!!!
peace
March 26th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
It’s kind of neat but I agree with grunge girl
March 28th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
this is horrible…
March 30th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
how can i had one of them ?
please, answer me ! *
March 30th, 2008 at 5:12 pm
will I be able to buy those in Austria too?
does anybody here know Austria lol?
March 30th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
I can see the ones featuring his journals being a problem, but if thats the only reason you dont want them, then dont buy that peticular type. Buy the black featuring the song lyrics.
Those ones are pretty cool. I know for a fact that they have “Dumb” on there, and according to this site, “Come As You Are”. So in general, theyve got some meaningful lines on that shoe.
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:21 pm
If you read the journals, the first page says:
“Don’t read my diary when I’m gone”
“OK, Im going to work now, when you wake up this morning, please read my diary. Look through my things, and figure me out.”
Regardless of whether it was sarcasm or not, the books have been published and people have read them. I think he’d want people to know what happened and what sort of enigma was in his mind. I personally have read the books and they make you think and wonder and realize things that you might not have before. I love these shoes and will be getting myself a pair ASAP. =]
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:08 pm
YAY!!! Further icentive to buy shotguns, enough to go round now!!! with this, the icon is truly gone, and no for some of you assholes who have forgotten what this site was truly made for, kurt would not have liked this. To those teenyboppers out there, fuck you x x
u
April 4th, 2008 at 2:57 am
Though it’s kinda tempting cuz I love Converse and they truly look good…for Kurt’s sake, take a fucking pen or marker and write your favourite lyrics on them yourself!!!!!
Now if the money was going to some kind of association for musicians or something I may be considering this or if Krist and Dave were supporting this, but this way…nah!
I don’t think Kurt would be impressed!
April 5th, 2008 at 3:36 am
anjriiitt!
PUNK ROCK MEANS FREEDOM!
i love this stuff..
April 5th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
he hated having people be obsessed with him and now their going to make these shoes? its not right.
April 6th, 2008 at 3:18 am
ok like some people are saying the writing is bad its not they sell copys of his journals at any book store and he was fine with it he wanted people to know bout him
April 7th, 2008 at 9:41 am
i love these shoes
April 8th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
i think they’re amazing shoes.
eh, chances are im buying them.
i think in a way i guess it’s a bit harsh to his memory.
but it is a unique way to honor him in a sense too.
its kind of a two sided situation.
April 9th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
as much as i want all of these, the only way i would buy any of them is if Krist or Dave were putting these out in his memory and they gave half of the money to Frances and the other half to Tom Grant.
April 9th, 2008 at 11:59 pm
i agree with grunge girl but yet i would love a pair of them but his fame shouldnt be thown around like this
April 11th, 2008 at 10:45 am
Kurt is my god!!!
April 12th, 2008 at 2:02 pm
jesus guys, mixed messages on this one, i think its cool and a good way to honor him, though if i get them i prolly wouldnt want to get the ones with his journals on them, but the lyrics ones i would, i mean if you dont like it dont post about it.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:14 am
he’s a big man,and he found his stairway to heaven…
April 16th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
im not real sure i like them..and to tell u the truth…why would he like them..he wouldnt want u to copy him he woudl want u to be original…
April 16th, 2008 at 5:29 pm
i think he woudld hate them…so..i will tell the truth me im pretty much obsesed with all this kinda of stuff about kurt but i would never go as far as to buy these shoes
April 21st, 2008 at 1:59 am
i would have liked it, but i knew kurt wouldn’t have liked the idea so i’ll pay respect.
i would have still bought it if dave and krist were part of producing it, but i wouldn’t like to do a favor for cour
tney love.
April 21st, 2008 at 4:35 am
THIS SHIT PISSES ME OFF SO FUCKING MUCH!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? ANOTHER MONEY MAKING SCHEME?! IT JUST SEEMS TO ME THAT CORPORATE SOCIETY IS MAKING SO MUCH MONEY OUT OF KURTS DEATH, HE WOULD NEVER HAVE AGREED WITH THIS AND YOU ALL ARE JUST BUYING INTO IT, MAKING COURTNEY EVEN MORE FUCKING RICH. HE HATED THE FACT OF BEING A CELEBRITY AND WITH PEOPLE TRYING TO SELL HIM TO THE WORLD THAT HE DESTROYED HIMSELF IN ORDER TO GET AWAY… WHY CANT YOU ALL AS “TRUE FANS” NOT FIND ANOTHER WAY TO HONOUR KURT COBAIN. THIS IS FUCKING BULLSHIT!! I’M NOT SURE THAT YOU ALL SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE IN ALL OF THIS…
April 21st, 2008 at 4:38 am
WHY NOT MAKE YOUR OWN? KURT WAS CREATIVE…
April 21st, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Kurt didn’t want people to worship him, every one obviously knows that. But people still did, People always will. I think if you truly respect Kurt you won’t buy these, (Concidering most of you never personaly knew him, you should think wisely about what you say) but if you love him as a musical mastermind (in the beginning that’s all he loved himself as) then of course you’d want to know what made him write his famious lyrics. Shoes it a little degrading I admit… but in the world today money is money… and even that is loosing it’s value.

I love Kurt Cobain, he is my role model. I would wear these shoes every single day of my life until i die! Though, I agree with grunge girl on this.
May 4th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
Yo these are tight like really sexy shoes, but thats not cool messing with his ish.
I would cop em but they are using his fame to get money, and like sick say he didnt want people obsessing over him.
Im torn.
May 5th, 2008 at 2:45 am
great shoes! i think it’s great way of celebrating a genius! kurt liked his designer clothing too!
May 7th, 2008 at 7:31 am
love cobain
May 7th, 2008 at 7:42 am
i like them.i know for a fact kurt would not give four flying fucks.
May 7th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
omg I NEED TO HAVE THESE!!!! i love Kurt and what a way to remeber him by!!!!
May 7th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
mau donk spatunya………..
May 11th, 2008 at 7:45 pm
well first of all, courtney already invaded his privacy by publishing a book..so what does it matter,we have all seen this before?
these shoes are a great way for everyone to have their own piece of kurt.
May 12th, 2008 at 3:36 am
bulllshit don’t buy dis one..if kurt was alive now he wouldn’t want he’s journal to be written on a converse shoe.
kurt didn’t like fame .
courtney love used kurt’s journals in order to make money.
it even said in kurt’s journal “do not read this when i’m gone”
they invaded kurt’s privacy.
by the way why would we buy these shoes if courtney love would be the who’ll take benefit of it.
remember even kurt wanted to divorce courtney love 3 days before he died.
May 12th, 2008 at 11:56 am
If you love him, you can do it youeself just like what Kurt did. The graffiti of Kurt’s shoes were all draw by himself.
I’m a Chinese guy, I do not know whether these will sell in China. If they did, I will buy them. If not, I will draw it myself!
May 12th, 2008 at 5:44 pm

What a fuck!!!!, truly fans would never buy this shit, if Kurt could see this he would die again for sure, in fact he would commit suicide for real!!!
He was the most anti mainstream person, this is not about honor him, it’s just about make money with his death!!!!Courtney is searching every possible way to exploit his image, to get money from him even death….Bitch!!!!!!!!!. For Sure Krist hat this
May 16th, 2008 at 10:07 am

May 17th, 2008 at 1:22 am

May 23rd, 2008 at 4:11 am
zee is right there are lots of ways to honor him forget it im not buying those shoes courtney sucks!!!!!
May 24th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
for one thing its fucked up how there comming out with sum kurt cobain one stars cause they were the shoes he was found dead in fuck converse for that shit. first it was action figures now this? goddam courtney would do anything for money that slutty bitch
May 25th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
I was recently given a pair of the white Converse and in no way do they show anything extremely “personal.” Even though some of it might have come from his journals, most of what is actually on the shoes are drawings and/or lyrics from various albums and songs that were obviously seen before his death.
Also, there are three styles of shoes that I have seen, which do not include any shown in the article… First, the shoes with his writing/drawings on them are actually low-tops and are a little different than in the pictures above. There’s worn out/distressed black hi-tops with his signature on the side and the third style are black hi-tops with the lyrics to “Lithium” on the side.

May 27th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
this is the next variation of looking to the dead of kurt cobain, it is not a bad way but not my way of honouring him. it’s just that i’ll never buy those shoes basta!
May 29th, 2008 at 8:17 am
ok people, its plain and simple. if you like the shoes, get them. if you dont, dont buy them. If anything blame courtney for selling kurt out. Its not converses fault. last but not least, if you are a true fan and honor nirvana’s music, why not buy them. You people really need to grow up. most of you that disagree and say its wrong to put these shoes out, how the hell do you know if kurt would want these shoes out or not? you are not him and you dont now him so shut the hell up
May 29th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
i think this is a great way to honor kurt cobain. yes i am disapointed that courtney love will probably get a lot of money for it and its not right (cause she pretty much killed him). but im still buying them cause i think kurt would’ve liked it and all u people saying that we dont even know him. well neither did u! unless i am mistakin and u wanna say ur name and proove that u know him
May 30th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
WOW!! Everyone needs to chill!! I personally believe that the shoes are cool!and yes kurt wouldn’t have wanted it lke this so if thats wat u think then don’t buy them. instead MAKE YOUR OWN!!! like all the other ppl said,cause that is wat i’m gonna do!
May 31st, 2008 at 9:13 pm
Well Courtney really sold him out this time! But I guess it is expensive taking care of a kid and a drug habit!
June 3rd, 2008 at 11:41 am
First off,I know this has been said over and over again, but,The man was all about privacy and he did’nt really enjoy the fame,I mean Courtney Love already runied that buy publishing his personal journals.Just because he wore chucks dosent mean they have to fucking put his writing on it,If your a true fan you can do it yourself,now we’er going to see fakes wear these when they know shit about Kurt Cobain.Really if he was alive to see this,he would never wear them again,infact he’d probally lose all respect.Fuck Courtney Love.
June 3rd, 2008 at 1:49 pm
I just wish things could stop. The marketing and the greed has far surpassed anything at this point. Lets really choke this to shit. Its bad enough that music sucks now, and to harp on something that the world will never be is truly depressing.
June 4th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
F THE SHOES
June 5th, 2008 at 7:46 am
Just another way for Courtney to cash in on his death. She sickens me! She probably sold his ashes too!
June 5th, 2008 at 10:43 pm
I agree with a lot of skeptics that perhaps Kurt would not have wanted the media and the corporate machine abusing his fame and extrordinary brilliance to make a buck, but I have to admit it probably won’t stop me from getting my hands on a pair of the Jack Purcell’s. The fact of the matter is that no matter what anyone else thinks, I want mine for the simple reason that Kurt Cobain is my biggest hero and inspiration, and just being able to walk around on something all day that reminds me of that sounds great in my books. I think that’s kinda what the point of the tribute shoes was, and people are maybe looking a litte too deep into the product. Someone just wanted to make something in his memory, not necessarily “rape” him, if you know what I mean. I’m sure whoever came up with the idea had good intentions, and I’d love to know where I can get a pair.
RIP KC <3
June 7th, 2008 at 11:10 am
OK well we dont really know what Kurt woulda felt about this, but the sad truth is he is gone, we want to remember him (like its hard) and the shoes are friggin awesome, i like the black ones personally i will so be gettin a pair
June 7th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
You know me personally.
Yeah kurt hated selling and being famous;; but thet fact that he did keep a journal and tat he wrote many said that he did want to be rememberd when was gone. he wanted people to figure him out just like it says on the very first page. And his journals say a lot about him. I’m sure people still have no idea what he was talking about;; but to jus have a part of him takes you one step closer. When I found out about the journal i wnated it right away because i want to know everything about him. But even without his journals we had his music and his lyrics and those alone came from his mind and his heart. So these people are saying “oh the shoes shouldn’t have his journals” why not the books are already published for everyone to read. “kurt wouldnt like it” no he wouldn’t because those were his ideas, and people are now jst trying to follow him and be him. “oh its just another money maker.” yeah it is but so are the Cd’s so are the videos so is his music. even if people don’t want to say it. Nirvana was a money maker one way or another. Just by seelling this shoe isn’t makeing them ell out. They sold out when they became famous;; but no one thinks about that.
Me personally i’m glad they became famous;; and i’m glad he sold out;; because nirvana is a big part of my life;; kurt is a big part of my life. So i have more thing to say….
p.s. Chris if you see this you must be laughing right?
FUCK YOU GUYS;; I’M BUYING THEM!
June 8th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
kurt’s daughter will inherit the lot later, so what does it matter. it’s a small tribute to a real genuis! kurt forever!
June 9th, 2008 at 5:12 am
I love those one star! their awesome! I want one of those! Does anyone knows where can I find them?! Their so cool, oh god !
June 10th, 2008 at 5:33 pm
its not right, he was a private man and this is not what he stood for. I am sorry to see this happen
June 11th, 2008 at 7:36 am
Okay they do look pretty damn cool and all but Kurt wouldn’t have wanted this at all. I mean first the Journals now this, I’m not gonna be to suprised if I start seeing his old clothes on ebay
June 12th, 2008 at 6:21 pm
This is disrespectful. Kurt is no longer a human being, but a corporate icon. This is what drove a shotgun into his mouth in the first place.
If you buy these shoes, you are pissing on his grave.
Long live the music.
Buy converse knock offs and write on them yourself.
June 13th, 2008 at 6:35 am
i don’t understand why some of you don’t like the shoes, only because courtney worked with converes to make this
i think its an good way to do this
but hey i understand if you dont like it
but if thats because of courtney…
then your pefetic
and i know he didnt want to be worshiped but i think you shouldnt wear t-shirts of him or bought the book journals
June 13th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
i would never buy them!
its sorta an invasion of privacy…how would you guys like it if someone got your journals and put stuff from them on shoes. they should just stick to song lyrics.
the black ones on the other hand…i suppose there would be a slim chance i would buy them…VERY slim though!
June 14th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
ey!!! wow my god i love them guys they were the best of the best
and i have the konverse somebsdy knows how many kinds of kurt cobains convers are for sale? thanks viva kurt!!
fuking kourney muerete!!
June 16th, 2008 at 3:25 am
hey grunge girl this isn’t tampering with his personal life. The information on the shoes was from his personal journals but they were published in a book called of course “The Kurt Cobain Journals.” I recognize everything on those shoes since i’ve read the journals. Nothing here is tampering with anything so shut up
June 16th, 2008 at 3:35 am
Also to everyone else that keeps saying these are horrible, he wouldn’t want this he was anti-mainstream. Shut the fuck up jeez think about this. If more and more ppl are becoming non mainstream then it is mainstream cuz everyones doin it. So if doin this is mainstream its not in a sense. I may only be 16 but i know what i’m talking about.
June 16th, 2008 at 10:41 am
omg,the first time i saw these i thought what a great way to honor him,but i wouldnt like it if someone was showing the whole world my personal stuff.
but im buying the ones with the lyrics on em
long like kurt and nirvana!!!!
i love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 16th, 2008 at 10:59 am
This one goes to bullshit. I dont know if you noticed but if you really read the journals then you’d know that on the page that it says “Dont read my diary when i’m gone” right below it says “OK, I’m goin to work now. When you wake up this morning, please read my diary. Look through my things and figure me out.” so he did want people to read his journals. HA!
June 16th, 2008 at 11:02 am
i rlly rlly want them but where the fuck can i buy a pair???
i want tha pair with his signature on em near the back n only his signature the black 1s
any1 got any ideas where i can buy sum??
June 18th, 2008 at 11:26 pm
This is NOT COOl, NOT AT ALL. Selling your dead husband’s personal writing and thoughts down the river for some fast cash is just about one of the worst things a person could do. Every indication out there suggests that Kurt would be just as sickened by this as any true Nirvana fan is or would ever be!!!!!!!!!!!! People are going to adorn the thoughts of this amazing artist on their feet! His words are literally going to be dragged through fucking mud (as well as other things). Honestly, I cannot think of a bigger slap in the face of a deceased person, especially one so dedicated to writing journals.
June 20th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
i have the black hi-tops wih the lyrics….they have come as you are, lithium, heart shaped box, nd one other song…i forgot which one. they’re pretty neat check ‘em out at your local journeys or shoe store
June 25th, 2008 at 11:08 pm
Wow, it shows just how much new fans of Nirvana dont “get it”. Cashing in on his legacy is the exact opposite of what Nirvana stood for. Kurt would hate this.
But since I guess te most of you are 15 year old girls who grew up on Spice Girls and think the mass commercialization of music is perfectly normal and acceptable, you wouldn’t have a clue why anyone would scorn this.
Millenial kids, your generation is worthless and depressing.

no puedo crerer q la gente piense q converse quiere honrar a kurt…por favor!!! lo unico que les interesa es vender!!!! es una empresa que quiere marketing, plata. la verdad son muy inteligentes, (que descubrimiento no??). miren el debate que arman. ya lograron lo que querian, el impacto. la gente discute, y ellos tienen mas publicidad. “gracias kurt!” ffffff. es increible como lo siguen usando.
“Maybe if I put a bullet in my brain
They’d remember me like Kurt Cobain
And the parasites on MTV
Would wipe their eyes and act like they knew me”

“he was a genius”
“Mi memoria existe, mi recuerdo vivirá siempre y mi música en la gloria será la salvación del maldito infierno donde habitamos.” (kurt)
June 26th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
IS SO STUPID, I THINK THAT HE HATED TO BE FAMOUS, AND NOW CONVERSE MADE THIS SHIT?????
June 28th, 2008 at 12:19 am
Kurt Cobain just rolled in his grave… This is the most pathetic thing I have ever seen. If you buy these shoes you are truly no fan of Kurt and you mock the ideals of grunge.
June 28th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
this is absolute shit!!!!!!!!! if you buy these sneakers you’re supporting a money sucking leech aka courtney love!! kurt cobain would’nt appreciate this at all if you think about it. the people who buy this shit just want to look cool and say look i have kurt cobains personal shit on my converse!@#$%@…….its not cool at all we do need a personal advertisement on your feet.
DO NOT PURCHASE THESE!
June 28th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
don’t*
June 29th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Why the FUCKING people dont understand.
STOP PURCHASING THEM,ITS JUST ANOTHER THEME OF MAKING MONEY. GROW UP PEOPLE
June 30th, 2008 at 8:09 pm
I’m sorry, But this is sickening.
Kurt was opposed to his image being sold. That was one of the reasons he commited suicide.
He wouldn’t have aproved of this, EVER.
True fans will know this and respect his opinion by not buying into this moneymaking sceme.
July 2nd, 2008 at 12:56 pm
i’m torn. i want the shoes like crazy but i don’t think this is what Kurt wanted… isn’t it better to just buy plain cons? draw on them yourselves. do you really think he would’ve bought shoes with someones journal entries written on them? plus all the money isn’t going to anything good…
July 2nd, 2008 at 1:00 pm
I agree with ‘just a girl’. but the lyric ones are EVER SO TEMPTING. I just think this goes against having respect for Kurt.
July 3rd, 2008 at 12:35 am
i think courtney love is out to get the money..for what..drugs?? to hell with this..i’m not buying into this..and if i wanted any lyrics of Nirvana’s, any at all..i’ll just pick my own favorites on my own time..and..it is definately NOT koo man to go raiding through his stuff like that to make profit, i’m gonna make sure i tell people not to buy into this crap..I RESPECT NIRVANA, but not the fact that they’re product and not meaning, their music speaks clear to everyone, his words too, he is really powerful and if i knew what i know now back then, i probably could relate, i would be upset if i was used as a product..especially by a loonatic divorced wife who’s fucked up mentally and needs to move on and stop hurting kurt’s image. courtney, LEAVE KURT ALONE! holy crap..life?? get one!
July 4th, 2008 at 1:10 am
my family new the cobains and we still do
courtney is pretty sane
kurt was really quiet
he would have hated this
he is my god
i went to frances 6th bday party
u guys shud keep her outta this
July 6th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
they are awesome and i want a pair, but seriously… the guy killed himself cuz he was getting too published.. we might as well pee on his grave…
July 7th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
The shoes are cool, but it’s a horrible idea to put his journals stuff. Shit brain, i like the shoes, but i will not buy them… THEY ARE REALLY SICK!!!,
They will be a honor if it was possible that Kurt like them, but i am sure that he will not like them… so WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE TALKING ABOUT!!! THEY ARE SO… UN-LEGAL…
oh, yeah, CL sucks =D
July 8th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
this is wrong, you cant MAKE HIS STYLE OF SHOES IN A FUCKING FACTORY!!!!! if people want shoes like his they should just buy converse and draw on them and write lyrics on them no one should have his exact shit thats not punk rock at all THATS BEING A FUCKING POSER!!!! POSERRRRSSS FUCKHEAADS LOSERS!!! get a fucking life
July 9th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
i know some people feel as if reading kurt cobains jouranls is wrong but,kurt cobain was a HISTORICAL FIGURE IN MUSIC.A great way to learn about historical figures is to read writings of them.In my opinion publishing personal words of him on a shoe is a little stupid but if you love nirvana and want to learn more about kurt cobain then it is fine to buy his journals.
July 12th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
Yeah, I read the Kurt Cobain Journal. I don’t think you should put some of the stuff he wrote on fucking shoes. Sure putting his name, lyrics, or ‘Punk Rock Means Freedom’ isn’t so bad, but not his PERSONAL thoughts that were meant to be private. That fucking Courtney love shouldn’t have sold the damn book in the first place. She should have kept it, if not for herself, but for her beautiful daughter, Frances Bean. I could go on for hours about this, but I’ll stop here to keep myself contained. R.I.P. Kurt
July 12th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
Let’s face it; Courtney killed him because they were about to divorce and the slut wanted to keep his money. She even hired someone to kill him, and when he wouldn’t, he ended up dying, too. She made money off his death and the bitch still is. Buying these shoes would only be making her money, so I would suggest it. If it would help the rest of the band then yes, I would buy them. Come on, if you fellow Kurt/Nirvana fans wanna honor him, just do what I do. Keep the legend alive, buy every NIRVANA shirt you can find, and buy their CDs. Hell, I even have a HUGE poster of him on my wall. If you must have the shoes, just buy yourself a white pair of them and write his name and lyrics on them. The main thing though that bothers me about all of this is that he really loved his family and music and fans. Anyways, I’d better stop. I could go on about this forever.

gimme one !!

July 15th, 2008 at 11:21 pm
I “halfway” agree with grungegirl. I just hate the one’s that have stuff with from his journal on them. They should just have his lyrics and name on them. Or maybe some of his quotes because everyone has heard those. I personally have read his journal, but I think that only his fans should read his journal and not just random people who learned stuff about the legend from reading your shoes. Especially since your average person would be able to understand words that, as my friends and teachers would say, go any deeper then a mud puddle. Anyways, I L-O-V-E Kurt and Nirvana and I would buy these shoes if I didn’t think his wife/murderer Courtney Love would collect profit from them. If his daughter or the rest of band members would get any money, then yes, I would buy them. I may just buy a pair of converses and put ‘Punk Rock Means Freedom’ and Kurt’s name, and some of his lyrics on them. Thats what I would suggest. If you want to argue with anything I said, just email rockchick6661@hotmail.com or contact aromancewithsuicide on quizilla. I’m a big girl, I can handle criticism, but that doesn’t mean I will tolerate it.
July 19th, 2008 at 9:44 pm
I Want some!
July 21st, 2008 at 12:12 pm
Are these for sale on Portugal??
Id love to buy them…
July 21st, 2008 at 4:24 pm
i think the shoes look great and everything. but thats totally wrong! totally!! thats his personal life your printing there…its personal! its his diary for gods sake!! would you like someone to print your personal life on shoes? didnt think so.
July 22nd, 2008 at 12:21 am
Okay people,
overall I know Kurt wouldn’t appreciate how his personal thoughts are being tossed about while that slimy whore courtney is reaping all the damn benefits!!
Does “do not read this when I’m gone”
mean nothing to you?!?
I don’t give flaming fuck if it’s published!!
RESPECT KURT!!
if you did then you wouldn’t let that tramp exploit his death.
Think about it people.
“Punk Rock means FREEDOM.”
July 22nd, 2008 at 5:45 pm
the shoes are nice looking, i think anyone who has posted on here is not looking at this properly, yes Kurt didn’t like people knowing about his private life, Yes we don’t think knowing about his journal is needed, along with the fact u think the money the cause is going to is bad. Yet i think we all ned to look at the other side. Kurt didn’t like being worshiped but him along with any other Song writer lived/live for the crowds that chant there name at concerts, and who enjoy there music. If u buy these shoes it dosent mean anything it just shows ur a fan and nothing more then that. Not that u disrespect a man who wrote awsome music, or the fact that his journal is on them, Its all about wats in your head, so if u many people say u Enjoy Kurt’s Music why not buy the shoes, it just shows how much u enjoy the music, not the person…. After all the “lyrics” are written on 1 pair of the shoes, if not boycott the journal 1’s and buy the lyric 1’s or the 1’s with hsi anme” or album covers. —- Kurt Cobain an great man, a grunge idol, and may he rest in peace
July 23rd, 2008 at 3:28 am
I love converse and I am a big fan of Kurt Cobain. However, I refuse to buy these shoes. Do you really think Kurt would want all this merch based on him out. All Courtney is doing is exploiting him. When he was alive he claimed to not like fame and the attention that came with it. He was a great songwriter and I can understand fans wanting to honer him or show that they’re a fan by buying these converse or any other merch, but seriously have some respect for the guy. If you really want the shoes just buy some converse and use a marker to write youre favorite lyrics on them. I just don’t think that his personal like should be open to the public for everyone to see.
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:07 am
God damn people. They’re shoes! Money making or honoring, whatever! You can’t do very much about it. No one here knew Kurt personally so saying, “Oh he wouldn’t like it,” isn’t really in your power now is it? Don’t waste your breath on here.
July 28th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
i wish i could have met kurt i love those shoes and i love his music
July 29th, 2008 at 4:13 am
I agree kurt wouldn’t like this whole idea but its sure as he’ll tempting to buy some but with some nirvana logos and some unprivate kurt cobain logos maybe some famous quotes but not his journal thoughts
July 30th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Whether or not Kurt would approve. I think the shoes are cool. I would buy a pair and add them to my collection of chucks I already own. As for the memory of cobain living on thru shoes… I personnel wouldn’t care if he rolled over in his grave about it. I feel that suicide is a cope out with people who cant handle life. He left a wife and child behind to deal with that burden. All the money he made and he couldnt get something for the pain? I deal with depression too but I think of my children and I endure for their sake. So go buy the shoes there hot. And listen to his music while wearing them. The man was at least creative and poetic. Lost to us forever more.
July 31st, 2008 at 6:19 pm
Wow you guys sure are hypocritical.
You read his private journal wear his t-shirts then complain when a shoe line comes out dedicated to him with some drawings and lines from his journal?
The same journal you just read?
WTF?
August 2nd, 2008 at 12:08 am
im both in favor and not in favor of these shoes….i am in favor of them because well..it’s kurt cobain..i mean cmon hes a legend, and legends should live on…i am not in favor of these shoes because converse is in a way using kurt cobain to sell there shoes knowing people will go crazy for them…i mean i will be buying a pair myself but still don’t use him to sell…but none the less…the legend must live on
August 2nd, 2008 at 12:17 am
when do the shoes come out???
August 2nd, 2008 at 4:11 pm
I love how everyone says how Kurt wouldn’t like this. How do you know? Did you know Kurt personally?
Maybe he would, maybe not, but his privacy isn’t being anymore messed with than it has already.
If he didn’t want fame then he shouldn’t have done MTV or anything like that. And he did realize it (a bit too late), if you all don’t remember.
If you don’t like the shoes, don’t buy them. Simple as that. Don’t make me read all of your “Fuck you tweenybobber” remarks. You just show that you have the maturity of tweenybobbers.
August 4th, 2008 at 9:13 am
can you still buy these and where?
August 5th, 2008 at 12:58 pm

August 5th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
i think they’re nice. we all love kurt cobain and as much as he would of hated it, the truth is, we’ll buy anything that has his name scattered about. he was a great musician and i respect him. he’s dead, but i respect him. if they weren’t scattered with cool little kurt doodles, i would of bought these shoes anyway. i think they look cool to begin with and a little nirvana touch is a plus. it doesn’t matter if he wouldn’t of liked it or whatever because he is dead. which makes the shoes better. keeps the memory of him alive. who knows if he would like them or not either? its not like we can ask him. he might of loved them.
just my opinion anyways
August 6th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
amazingly comfortable shoe, picked up the blue hi-top chucks the dirtyness gives it a cool grungy feel, grunge rock
August 7th, 2008 at 9:45 pm
I have them
bwahaha
August 8th, 2008 at 10:17 am
When i looked at them, they seemed cool to me, but when i read that CL is involved with it - i got sick. when you hear that name you can see right away what’s the point of making this shoes. BITCH! i’m wondering how come people die only around you, how come no one shoot you in the face yet. if you were depressed as much as Kurt and a user as much as Kurt - go kill yourslef blondy, cause he didn’t.
August 10th, 2008 at 2:08 am
on kurts journals it says “if you read you’ll judge.” and it also says, “dont read my diary when im gone, OK, i going to work now, when you wake up this morning, please read my diary. Look through my things and figure me out.” so obviously i guess we can read stuff about him cus he wanted us to read it, so i think that these shoes would be ok to manufacture, and that guy in the comments that said “i knew the cobains” ya bull fucking shit… and that other guy that said “we might as well pee on his grave.” FUCK YOU! PISS OFF ASSHOLE, U FUCKIN FAGGOT.
August 10th, 2008 at 2:08 am
i never met him but i sure do fucking miss him…
August 10th, 2008 at 2:10 am
and hav these shoes already come out yet or does anyone know when they’re coming out cus i want a pair.
August 10th, 2008 at 2:13 am
but then again i do feel bad for goin thru his journals and reading them, but his life seems like mine, and the things he put in there seem like similar outcomes like mine.
August 10th, 2008 at 2:14 am
ya so maybe i wont buy a pair ill just write some stuff on my other converses
August 10th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
i think companies are trying to put too much marketable value on this poor mans life. he obviously wouldnt want his personal business to be displayed this way. he wouldnt want his ideas to be cheapened, to be felt like his thoughts are being sold out, and that was one prime thing he was against doing, which was selling out.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:01 am
well to me….music means god n god means kurt..undoubtedly d best.>>> jai kurt baba ki ..cheers
August 11th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
I’m torn, too. The shoes are really cool, and I want a pair, but it would go against what Kurt Cobain would have wanted. I may just write on a pair of plain converse…
Even though it looks cool, I don’t think it’s right for his Journals to be published on the shoes.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
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.
August 17th, 2008 at 6:41 am
I’m sure people have said this already throughout this article but here it is anyway.
Beautifully orchestrated by the marketing company to sell the idea of Kurt not caring, in the first place, if his shoes looked grubby and anti establishment back to people at top dollar no doubt. Still no harm done if some people really want to feel like they’re in someone else’s shoes.
Heads up for the people who fancy a pair of these new old trainers, it’s just a spin strategy to pull in the music lovers to part with their cash.
So I think it probably isn’t the best idea as it sells out a bit of the rockstar’s legacy but as he’s no longer with us and has no say then I would conclude it’s absolutely nothing to do with music or celebration but just another opportunity for this company to jump on the commercial band wagon to stay ‘hip’.
Having said all that I quite like converse shoes as they’re pretty comfortable. But the idea is not good.
August 18th, 2008 at 9:17 am
ohhh i lovee kurt
August 19th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
o my these shoes are AWESOME! I love them. what a great way to honor Kurt. I feel bad for his daughter tho. How embarrasing. But anyways i have the low cut ones and they ROCK!
August 19th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
I think the shoes are really nice, but it isn’t that kind to write all his dreams and thoughts on shoes…Sure converse was his favourite, but i still dont get it..But i really want the black ones xD
August 20th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
I don’t care how much the shoes go for I’m getting a pair.)
Courtney love is selling Kurt.)
Most of you who say she is, He drew the shoes out and sold them himself.)
Fuck off.
August 21st, 2008 at 9:55 pm
i think this is a sweet idea.
the man was brilliant, he deserves
something spectaacular, it’s not
like they published something completely
private on them, kurt is god, he
needs to be known more. the shoes are
awesome, i love kurt and his thoughts.
August 27th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
If you really care about Kurt Cobain you will totally go out and buy these shoes because it completely matters if you have Kurt Cobain’s fucking scribblings on your feet as you walk around in your nice suburban shopping malls.
While your at it why don’t you only wear Nirvana shirts and wipe your ass with Kurt Cobain signature toilet paper (which costs about $10 more than regular toilet paper of course) because I’m sure that’s what Kurt would want from all of you. Every single, last, whiny, self-loathing, white, suburban, pre-pubesent one of you.
August 27th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
Sorry I misspelled “you’re” in my giddy excitement about these wonderful additions to converse.
August 30th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
omfg grunge girl. what u think yr cool. “oh no his personal life is being tamperd w/”1!! well then wtf are u doing on a site like this in the first place… hypocrite
September 1st, 2008 at 8:41 am
i am having hell lot of pairs of converse and will not mind buying it more . i love kurt cobain and love converse……..
September 2nd, 2008 at 2:16 pm
fuck you “pa”. kurt deserves something spectacular you say, and that is his name on fucking “converse”s, ha? that is you describe him as fucking “god” who needs to be “known” more? fuck you. fuck you all who disrespect his memory.
September 4th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Jesus Christ Dilvin, chill out. He’s been dead for 14 years now. You need to get a breathe of fresh air buddy. I’m not saying he wasn’t a great guitarist/singer, he sure as hell was, but you need to get over it. What converse is doing is spreading his love, not disowning it.
September 6th, 2008 at 3:47 am
c’mon johnny.. you really believe that what Converse does with these shoes is spreading the love of kurt cobain?? You know what, YOU need to get over this man, you’re unrealistic.
September 6th, 2008 at 3:59 am
and the fact that it has been 14 years since he’s gone, doesn’t mean that they can sell him anyway they want.
September 16th, 2008 at 11:42 am
I don’t get it. I mean… I suppose most of you call yourselves Nirvana fans, and own at least one Nirvana related product. Now think about it. What’s the moral difference between a Nirvana T-shirt and a shoe with Kurt’s name on it? Not much, in my opinion.
September 25th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
I have the same shoes in the very top picture with the dear
September 25th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
wait did Kurt actually draw those and converse decided to make it into a shoe all these years later?
October 7th, 2008 at 4:54 am
OMG…it’s like symbolically trodding the man’s soul, philosophy, beliefs, and dreams on our feet…i don’t think he would have approved of this. I mean..it was fame and capitalism drove the man over the edge…who thought that this would honour him?sad sad…
October 16th, 2008 at 9:44 am
yeah and know FB is modeling for that makeup crap What the hell! Its like every one just following Nirvana because of how many people have listened to them and putting his personal words and drawings on shoes is an insult to him.
October 18th, 2008 at 10:01 am
this is stupid. he would never do such a thing!
October 20th, 2008 at 10:47 am
i have the white ones!
i love them.
i think they’re a great way to remember him.
October 21st, 2008 at 6:24 am
with out convers thers no life and go 4 it ur doing great ……. no shoes will be the best exsept converse
peace

You stupid bastarrds need to step back and take it all in. You love Kurt. You want to remember him. You have a nirvana T-shirt. COMMERCIALISM!!! How are you gonna sit there and call the people that have enough money to buy some 70$ shoes inconciderate and fakes?!? The shoes are awesome. i have the black high tops. I love em (I ahev to agree with you on 1 point though…Fuck Courtney. Give the money to Frances.
November 14th, 2008 at 10:43 am
but honestly. I love Kurt. He is the man that shares my mind. (It sounds really strange but thats the only way i know how to say it.) “I am threatened by ridicule.”, “I am overly concience of the sincerity in my voice.”, “I love my parents but i disagree with merely everything they stand for.”, “I understand and appreciate the religion of others.”, “My emotions are affected by music.”, “Punk rock means freedom.”, “I take bits and pieces of other peoples personalities to form my own.” - We love you Kurt. and your missed.

November 22nd, 2008 at 9:00 am
I fuckin love Kurt Cobain and it makes me sad to think of him as being branded in this way. Overall I think it was an extremely thoughtful idea and the shoes look great, but it does kind of feel like he is being exploited for the purpose of fashion.
November 22nd, 2008 at 9:05 am
Mixed feelings really =(
December 3rd, 2008 at 6:55 am
I think it is a great way to show Kurt how much Converse think about him.
I have been wearing Converse boots for just over 30 years now.
It does seem funny that Kurt had the words “endorsed” written on his right Converse shoe way back when he was with Nirnana.
I think it’s a great tribute to Kurt

Well whatever you guys say about Kurt Cobain,(if it’s bad) well you have no idea who you are talking about. Kurt Cobain was a pretty awesome guitarist and singer and has inspired many people including me! Even though he comitted suicide doesn’t mean that he just some randomly weird guy trying to get attention as I have heard some people say. Kurt Cobain was awesome and the power of pen and paper can’t change that,nor can anything else. Respect Kurt!

Kurt Cobain was awesome and the power of pen and paper can’t change that,nor can anything else. Respect Kurt!

I’m a big fan of Nirvana. I grew up to their music and I also started playing guitar because of them. The first song I learned to play was Smells like Teen Spirit. I would love a pair of Cobain Converse shoes.
Kurt you are the hero of music and an inspiration to us all.

wow. if kurt could see this he would kill himself again. and evyrone of you buying this is pissing on his grave. you’d go to mcdonalds if they would name a burger after him right? fucking pathetic fashion cunts.

On the cover of Rolling Stone, Kurt wore a shirt that said: “Corporate Magazines still Suck.”
Why? Because he was critical of the corporate rock industry. That’s why he had so much tension and disagreement with Geffen records.
Don’t any of you teeny-boppers get it??
Man, the angst was lost in the 90s.

I like Nirvana. It’s one of my favourite bands. Always has been, and always will be. I like Kurt Cobain. I want posters, his cds, and maybe a pair of his chucks, but, man, there’s a fine line between wanting to remember your idol, and baking a sick profit off of a dude’s suicide/murder.

nirvana’s so cool and a very good band. i’m not sure if this is really the way to honor him. i’m not sure if kurt would of liked them or not, but… i like converse, but i’m not sure if i’d buy these one.
February 13th, 2009 at 9:06 am
kurt cobain was the best and these shoes rock
February 20th, 2009 at 2:18 pm
correct me if im wrong but didnt cobain commit suicide because i hated the fact that his music lost it’s independence.
he lost his passion.
so these shoes are just wrong.
February 25th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
eso es genial porque si uso converse es ademas de que me lo influensiaron mis padres es por kurt cobain y porque algun dia me encantaria trabajar diseñando para converse the welcome to the new converse century jaja pero que mala onda que aqui en mexico…no se vayan a vender…que malos son…ojala leyeran este comentario

i think he would have hated this idea and i agree if u realy wanna show ur a true fan jusst write the fucking lyrics on the shoes and the shoes are better when there all old and beat up.
peace&love
March 3rd, 2009 at 4:28 pm
how much do they want for them…?
because we might have to pass a basket.
or ask some one personally if they
will buy them for us
March 7th, 2009 at 8:44 am
I believe all the people freaking out and calling people who buy these shoes posers need to just stop. Everyone is gonna honor his memory differently and the journal entries were a bit much but those who care enough top get a real glimpse at a amazing mans life should not be judged, and courtney love is probably trying to keep money for her daughter [also the daughter of kurt, so have respect u dicks] and her drugs, something her and kurt did together! I like the shoes and they could have done worse i think.
March 12th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Look, none of this shit has to do with Kurdts personal life. Even if it says Courtney Love, he was in love with her and he had a kid with her… don’t get me wrong i hate her, but he loved her with his heart… so you little queer bates need to shut the fuck up and think of how Kurt would have felt about this. So don’t think of this as anything BUT a pair of shoes made for the memory of a beloved legend. I hope you read what i wrote cause i fucking LOVE Kurt Cobain. RIP Kurt Donald Cobain, You are dearly missed.
March 16th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
Although i was unborn when kurt doped up n blew his brains out. i have studied him for a couple of years and i must say that it would be an honor to wear these shoes of “The Elvis of Our Time” on my feet………….R.I.P.
KURT COBAIN
1969-1994

I have these shoes.!! i love them. i want moreee. haha.
March 30th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
I have been a fan of Kurt’s even before Nirvana became well known. I think it is very disrespectful by the exploitation of his writings and music to be put on shoes! What next Cobain underwear? To those of you who say you are fans and want them, maybe you better think about if you really are a fan of him, or the mockery made of his legacy and all of the money-greed based that has gone on since 1994. By the way is this meant to honor his murder/suicide? WTF!?! I used to like Converse, but now I am personally boycotting Converse. Nobody leave me alone in a Converse store I will destroy there shoes! At least maybe the money could go to Francis Bean…or better yet in a trust fund that only she can touch when she is old enough…Keep the money away from Courtney the exploitation, foul mouthed, shitty singing wanna be…(refering to L7)Well I could say more, but what is the point the greedy retards who want more money will stop when we all rise and say screw you at the same time by not supporting their habits(Meaning do not buy things that disrespect those that have passed on) Peace to all and may the dumb asses learn from there mistakes!

Today is the 15 annivesary of Kurt Cobains death. It still to me seems like yeterday. I guess I really miss him…I can relate with him much…I also think he was bipolar. Yet the way thigs were handled with his death it seems very suspicous. Yet don’t believe everything you read, hear and sometimes even see!For all we know maybe he is really still alive and his death was staged so he could get out of the lime light…that sounds a bit out there…but maybe…by the way i think I saw Elvis at a Burger King in TN. Majority of his songs had refrence to suicide and or depression, yet, could he really Not have reached the trigger on the shotgun?…also wouldn’t a shot gun produce a sprayed effect…sorry to be so graphic , and I am no gun expert but just think about it…don’t gun shot shells have little pellets in them or am I mistaken…also why would anyone leave their drivers license out? Unless he was worried he ould not be identified by the shooting…Who knows in a severely depressed state one does not think rationally! If anything Converse should releaseshoes with Anti-suicide related meaning, and maybe even ones hinting a reinvestigation. The song lyrics are fine, but I still think the note books/journals goes too far. By the way yesterday the 5th is the traditional coroners report date, but some have said that they talked to him on the 6th. Anyway …peace, love, and never give up…to everyone! As John Lennon said ‘There are no problems, only solutions.’ However suiide is Not a soluion it is running away.

[...] Sus restos, quemados; un tercio de sus cenizas se esparcieron en un templo de Budismo Tibetano en Ithaca, otro tercio fue esparcido en el río Wishkah por su hija Frances Bean, mientras que el último tercio fue entregado a Courtney Love($). [...]
April 13th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
this is so fucking stupid this pisses me off kurt hated commercialism and that its just an insult to put his name on a commercialized shoe, any one who buys these shoes is not a nirvana fan
April 16th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
Considering that he wrote ‘Endorsement’ on the toe cap of his own pair of All Stars I couldn’t see him hating this too much, though being Kurt he’d probably complain about it all the same.

Its weird to see kurt cobains shoes here, you might think its wrong to buy them, but the truth is Kurt cobain would love to buy sex pistols shoes or jimi hendrix shoes, think about that!! this is made for his fans. And nirvana fans.If you buy them then it’s just because you love then so much and fallow their music. you are so proud to wear them. Come on Kurt was an artist , nobody will forget that!! this is cool, and not wrong to buy, you should be happy you can buy stuff like that
May 14th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
YAY! I would like some of these!! <3
May 16th, 2009 at 5:59 pm
anyone who hates these are queer kurt cobain is a god he was a complete stud but only put his name and maybe the nirvana symbol and that would be bad ass!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 16th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
when can we buy these

^ look .That was me not giving a shit. It’s fun. Apparantly uncommon.
May 21st, 2009 at 9:30 pm
I never see something like that
I think its looks nice just beacuse kurt
but its totally wrong and ugly too so something like that
r.i.p
May 27th, 2009 at 2:39 am
This is really cool. The journals were published so whatever. And I really wish people would stop speaking for a dead man and assuming he would or would not have agreed with this. It’s too late for him to argue.
May 27th, 2009 at 5:49 am
this is the most misguided $$$-grabbing stunt i’ve ever seen! want kurt’s shoes? start a band and wear the same pair of whatever cons for 5 years.
May 27th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
oh this so cutEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
May 29th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
I think it is an good way to remember him although maybe the journals are a bit too far. His lyrics are so deep and meaningful I don’t think you really need the journal entries but w/e.
June 7th, 2009 at 9:50 am
Damn I love them. But it’s totally wrong. He is a musician, not a money-grubbing bugger. But Curtney is it. I won’t support her by buying them.
June 15th, 2009 at 7:53 am
i agree with everyone who says, just take a fucking marker and scribble down the lyrics on a pair of falling apart converse.
kurt cobain is a genius.
June 22nd, 2009 at 12:25 pm
iveh and Dumb(last 2 posts) pretty much said EXACTLY what I was going to say but I’ll say it again… Courtney’s no-talent ass is just feeding off her late-husband’s glory for all it’s worth so don’t buy the shoes.
If you want to pay tribute to Kurt, buy regular ol’ cheap-as-you-can-find Chucks. That’s what the Man Himself wore, and he wouldn’t have YOU wear or SPEND anything else!!!
And shit, why let Converse write THEIR favorite Cobain quotes on YOUR shoes?? Like Dumb says.. you got the books, liner notes and a Sharpe- scribe your own shoes and artwork.
Nothing against Converse AT ALL. I’m Pro-Cobain / Nirvana all the way.
