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 – $65. The product line comes with the full cooperation of Courtney Love and the Estate of Kurt Cobain. Converse will release the full details of the shoes in April.
OMG all of you people,Kurt’s notes are already published in books.These shoes are awesome bought some for 60$ and they’re worth the money.and i dont care about courtney,I just like to have a Kurt Cobain shoe!
Nirvana 4ever lalalalalalalalalalalala
This site supposed to be a site which RESPECTS Cobain’s memory, but let there be rock, let there be ca$h, let’s sell and sell and sell ’till his corpse is drained! How come a tribute site supports this kind of exploitation? These shoes are another PATHETIC example of cashing-in a dead’s man life, work and memory. This attitude is worse than the worst! It’s so disgusting I wanna throw up! Everything that Kurt HATED are now on sale by mega companies and bearing his name as a trademark. What the fuck man? What the fuck? The UTTER PATHETIC SHITTY ATTITUDE towards any person. Exploiting EVERYTHING for cash and in the same time pretending to pay respect to Kurt. Wake up people and DON’T be a part in this disgrace, they want your money ONLY, they are so glad Cobain’s dead so they can sell him more and more! WAKE THE FUCK UP people and have the DIGNITY not to be part in it or simply FUCK OFF, you are one of “them”!
ps: I was never a Nirvana fan, I just happent to repsect Cobain.
Just saw it after I posted the first comment! These fuckin shoes will have parts of Cobain’s diary???????? Great!!!!! Kids, have your parent’s credit cards ready, your “god” is on sale, pay for the shoes so converse can pay the tribute to Cobain and then party with that bitch who gave the ok… It’s getting greater and greater. I’m wondering why they just don’t dig up the body, cut it in pieces and sell it to the “fans”. They could sell it by the gram, like heroin, yeah, sell the dope to the “fans”, make a church, wouldn’t THAT be SUPER-COOL or fuckin what?
I’m REALLY wondering WHAT the fuck some of you people understood from Cobain EXCEPT the image? Huh? But after all, isn’t EVERYTHING about life style?
You all wanna respect and honour Kurt, do so in the only true way.Under the bridge, singing Something In The Way!!
NOT with a pair of shoes!!
I HATE all of them except the one with his signature, the rest are kinda disrespectful in a way i think, but i dont think theres anything wrong with the ones with the autograph. ALTHOUGH i DEFINITELY HATE courtney and i think it sucks shes makin the money off of these
i love kurt cobain.. i want these shoes so fucking bad..
R.I.P KURT COBAIN
I think they’re neat. Hero-worship is a human aspect we all share in, if you don’t like them then don’t get them, and if you love them then buy them. It’s not disrespectful to parade about in shoe with a name on them, after all THEY’RE FREAKIN CHUCKS 🙂 stop griping about the spirit of the thing. Love it.
I NEED THESE
Just another example that anything is for sale, including a person’s private life. Kurt hated commercialism. And here it is.
I wont be buying a pair Ill just stick to my nirvana records and photos.
i love the shoes, but i dont think they should put stuff from his journal. thats personal. i dont think kurt would of wanted that. they should just put his name and some song lyrics. i mean the stuff in his journal is probley interesting but its his life and his buissnes. im goning to try to find a pair with no personal stuff.
how much do these fuckin shoes cost.
you know, i love kurt with all my heart, but i kinda agree that his personal life souldn’t be tampered with. he would love a line of his shoes, but he wouldn’t want his privet jornals displayed. i surly wouldn’t want personal writting produce for the public. oh and i hate courtney. srry 2 her fans. but i just don’t.
oh and it would be diffrentt if he was alive and proved it or they were made with nivana lyric with permission from the band. not the wife. cuz shes a gold digger.
write His name your own fucking self on your own fucking shoes! hell write his name, his lyrics, anything you want to anywhere you want. christ what the fuck is wrong with people…like this is an original idea? besides i cant see the O.G punks on the street panhandeling for change to buy these shoes.maybe scrawling his name on thier tattered converse with a stolen sharpie while sparing change for beer….but actualy buying shoes that are ready-made punk rock??? fucking never`
no…these shoes are bad, kurt wouldve never wanted this.
OMG have you heard youselfs those shoes are bullshit i mean the people that buy them are not nirvana or cobain fans there not cool.
There really bad how would you like it if someone got hold of your diary and photocopyed it and threw it from the roof tops and gave it out on the street cause iv got news for you ITS THE SAME FUCKING THING!
I love nirvana and kurt i get some of the things but to publish his journals is one thing but to then put them on a overpriced shoe is fucked.
You guys are bitches. I don’t think any of us know what he would be thinking dumbass.
Lolllll….cut the crap everyone and rather listen to his music and read his music…guess that is what he wanted…to share his music….leave the toys aside!!!
Sorry…it should have been “read his lyrics”
