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 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!

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.
kurt cobain was the best and these shoes rock
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.
