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.

I HATE IT!! His personal life shouldn’t be tampered with like this!!
omg omg omg give me ! i want them, i looooooooooooooooove them, gimme gimme
eu queeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrroooooooooo *-*
(L)
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.
omgg i wantt somee
if you buy them you agree with courtney
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.
an interesting way to honor Kurt…..I don’t think he would have liked that….but cool, i guess
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.
Monkey, I totally agree with you, I’m totally going to buy one of these
xx I
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
It’s kind of neat but I agree with grunge girl
this is horrible…
how can i had one of them ?
please, answer me ! *
will I be able to buy those in Austria too?
does anybody here know Austria lol?
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.
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. =]
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
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!
anjriiitt!
PUNK ROCK MEANS FREEDOM!
i love this stuff..
