Kurt Cobain Converse Collection

Kurt Cobain ConverseConverse 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.

  1. OMG…it’s like symbolically trodding the man’s soul, philosophy, beliefs, and dreams on our feet…i don’t think he would have approved of this. I mean..it was fame and capitalism drove the man over the edge…who thought that this would honour him?sad sad…

  2. yeah and know FB is modeling for that makeup crap What the hell! Its like every one just following Nirvana because of how many people have listened to them and putting his personal words and drawings on shoes is an insult to him.

  5. You stupid bastarrds need to step back and take it all in. You love Kurt. You want to remember him. You have a nirvana T-shirt. COMMERCIALISM!!! How are you gonna sit there and call the people that have enough money to buy some 70$ shoes inconciderate and fakes?!? The shoes are awesome. i have the black high tops. I love em (I ahev to agree with you on 1 point though…Fuck Courtney. Give the money to Frances.

  6. but honestly. I love Kurt. He is the man that shares my mind. (It sounds really strange but thats the only way i know how to say it.) “I am threatened by ridicule.”, “I am overly concience of the sincerity in my voice.”, “I love my parents but i disagree with merely everything they stand for.”, “I understand and appreciate the religion of others.”, “My emotions are affected by music.”, “Punk rock means freedom.”, “I take bits and pieces of other peoples personalities to form my own.” – We love you Kurt. and your missed.

  8. I fuckin love Kurt Cobain and it makes me sad to think of him as being branded in this way. Overall I think it was an extremely thoughtful idea and the shoes look great, but it does kind of feel like he is being exploited for the purpose of fashion.
