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 am having hell lot of pairs of converse and will not mind buying it more . i love kurt cobain and love converse……..
fuck you “pa”. kurt deserves something spectacular you say, and that is his name on fucking “converse”s, ha? that is you describe him as fucking “god” who needs to be “known” more? fuck you. fuck you all who disrespect his memory.
Jesus Christ Dilvin, chill out. He’s been dead for 14 years now. You need to get a breathe of fresh air buddy. I’m not saying he wasn’t a great guitarist/singer, he sure as hell was, but you need to get over it. What converse is doing is spreading his love, not disowning it.
c’mon johnny.. you really believe that what Converse does with these shoes is spreading the love of kurt cobain?? You know what, YOU need to get over this man, you’re unrealistic.
and the fact that it has been 14 years since he’s gone, doesn’t mean that they can sell him anyway they want.
I don’t get it. I mean… I suppose most of you call yourselves Nirvana fans, and own at least one Nirvana related product. Now think about it. What’s the moral difference between a Nirvana T-shirt and a shoe with Kurt’s name on it? Not much, in my opinion.
I have the same shoes in the very top picture with the dear
wait did Kurt actually draw those and converse decided to make it into a shoe all these years later?
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…
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.
this is stupid. he would never do such a thing!
i have the white ones!
i love them.
i think they’re a great way to remember him.
with out convers thers no life and go 4 it ur doing great ……. no shoes will be the best exsept converse
