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.

kurt’s daughter will inherit the lot later, so what does it matter. it’s a small tribute to a real genuis! kurt forever!
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 !
its not right, he was a private man and this is not what he stood for. I am sorry to see this happen
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
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.
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
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!
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!!
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
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.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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!
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??
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.
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
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”
“I mourn for Kurt. A once beautiful, then pathetic, lost and heroically stupid boy”
“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)
IS SO STUPID, I THINK THAT HE HATED TO BE FAMOUS, AND NOW CONVERSE MADE THIS SHIT?????
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.
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!
