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.

he hated having people be obsessed with him and now their going to make these shoes? its not right.
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
i love these shoes
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.
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.
i agree with grunge girl but yet i would love a pair of them but his fame shouldnt be thown around like this
Kurt is my god!!!
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.
he’s a big man,and he found his stairway to heaven…
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…
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
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.
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…
WHY NOT MAKE YOUR OWN? KURT WAS CREATIVE…
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.
keep music evil…!!
the return or king GRUNGE>>!
if cobain were here things would be different
i like it..but i don’t lets stick to putting the funny things he wrote not personal..other than that perfect way to honor him<3
Yeah i wanna BUY THEM!!!!!! PLZ SOMEONE!!! GIVE THEM FOR ME!!!
