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 kurt would all fans around the world to know this “wanting to be some else is a waste of a person you are”
Kurt cobain and Nirvana forever
i’m from 90’s die hard fan of Nirvana back then and im a converse fan by myself…and when got to know that kurt was wearing it too…i’m so proud…till now,i’m still having my converse chuck taylor bought in 1991,i was 17 yo…classic huh..
guys, you who say that we piss on his grave, wtf?
he has no grave.
you talk like you know him.
”kurt wouldn’t like this”
”it’s not right to put his personals feelings, thought, ideas on a shoe”
(hey, what’s wrong with that, they’re already out? anyone can just buy the book and read them.)
”courtney love is such a bitch”
you know, he was in love with her, they had a child. it’s years ago since he died. let go.
just chill? he’s gone, and you know what? i think that he don’t want to come back here, he want peace. i don’t want him back. he was suffering. you guys are so selfish.
i don’t believe courtney killed him either, and i have nothing against her.
don’t hate her, please, it was his wife.
i haven’t read his diary. i have nothing of him, no t-shirts, keyrings, poster – nothing. i’ve just read some of his quotes, his lyrics, listened to his music, seen his musicvideos.
i’m not a die-hard fan, i don’t know him. i just love what he made. what he meant.
FUCK WHOEVER GOT THIS “IDEA”!!! If true rockers wanted thoose shoes, they would have made em’. they would have written their thoughts on it by em’self. Not buy expencive shoes that was written strong thoughts by a other person on. im not saying no one should copy what he said n’ meant(but, if u do it, say it under his name.. cuz it was his thought.)
I want one pair of these!
Looks great! Were do I buy them?
where do i find them???
mann all yall are trippin. these hoes is clean. yall just takin it too fukkin far & personal. yall wont wear these , but yall will wear a kurt cobain t shirt. mann fuck outta here! imma buy these hoes! fuck yall !!
Do you know where I could buy the last one? (the one star low) I really like it, but I can’t find it anywhere 🙁
Mmm, they are shoes. I like Converse. I like their style. I love Nirvana…I might buy them, because I want them. Not because I worship Courtney or something messed up like that.
I don’t think Kurt care about what we mortals do with our lives. He is in a better place now, we might or might not see him again after we die.
But now, I want those shoes.
