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.
Kurdt would have hated this too much publicity
I have the third ones…peace&love&kurt cobain
Kurt was his own person, and he is remembered because of it. Everything is what it is, and if the company wants to make shoes, they can. Kurt is a one of a kind guy, so why shouldn’t he be remembered by a pair of shoes?
love&peace&hope
I agree with 226, Dottie. You can’t assume something, especially what someone would have approved or would not have approved. Honestly, I know I wouldn’t like other people making my decisions… so shouldn’t we just stop this crap and remember him for the great person he was and not ‘shoes’ ?
I love the shoes. But its kinda Weard that people put a “memory on their feet”. But i really wanna know where i can get em!!!
and lots of u others says thath he would hate this becouse he just wanned to play the music, But what he did was to put something speacial in our hearts, The music called rock. And rock issnt just a thing you can hear but also a thing you can feel…
This is like walking on Kurt. Discusting!
kurt is not just a legend he’s a rock god……………but printing the stuff from the diary is not a good idea…….but still its kurt’s edition n we should respect that……….after all it was kurt who made converse so special amongst the rockers !!!
you guys are such a bunch of fuckin complainers, jesus. its not like they fucking cut him up and put him in a case for someone to carry around going “look, he’s dead!” its a fucking shoe with his writing on it. Disgusting is you people thinking you know him. you wouldn’t complain if they put this shit on a shirt. but they decided to do something both good for the company and trademark of what he wore. that’s all you know him by. none of you commenting here knew him personally and know “what he would have wanted”. so please, be fucking quiet, and if you can’t accept these as just shoes and not a defacation on his life then please, shut up and dont buy them.
i dont think kurt would have liked any of you guys pretending like you knew him, either..you’re all here talking about what he would and wouldn’t have wanted and you all overlook the fact that by your standards he would have hated you all acting like you knew him more than these shoes.
i agree with ‘grungemama’.
none of youse know him personally, sure you’ve read a bit of his journal, SO WHAT.
he would want people to be original but knowing that people are still looking up to his to this day, would be something for him to be proud of.
if he didn’t want anyone to see his journals he would have gotten rid of them before he had killed himself. think about it for a while… stop acting like you know him when you clearly don’t.
Where can I find the Lyrics one’s in New York State? I’m aiming for Long Island and NYC and it’s boroughs to buy them but if there is anywhere i can get the black lyrics shoe (whether it’s in a store or online etc.) then whatever.
omg i luv those shoes!!!! need them, want them, luv them!!!!!
Te amo kurt cobain…!!!
estaras siempre en mi corazon
i miss you.. kurt …..
i really wish he’s alive. RIP
love you kurt..
wish i can see you in heaven!!
