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.

don’t*
Why the FUCKING people dont understand.
STOP PURCHASING THEM,ITS JUST ANOTHER THEME OF MAKING MONEY. GROW UP PEOPLE
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.
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…
I agree with ‘just a girl’. but the lyric ones are EVER SO TEMPTING. I just think this goes against having respect for Kurt.
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!
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
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…
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
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
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.
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
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.

awesome !!
gimme one !!

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.
I Want some!
Are these for sale on Portugal??
Id love to buy them…
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.
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.”
