Converse Launches Kurt Cobain Sneakers
3/17/2008 By Brock Thiessen
If lunch boxes, action figures and Doc Martens ads weren’t enough, Kurt Cobain’s is getting his own signature shoe. Converse is currently producing a limited-edition series of Cobain-branded footwear as part of the company’s 100th anniversary sales campaign, dubbed “Welcome to the Converse Century.”
Each shoe will come peppered with drawings and writings that were published in 2002’s Journals, and making the private all that much more public. And not just one model of shoe is coming but several, with the Converse One Star model and a series of high-top Chucks already confirmed, according to [NFC: The Internet Nirvana Fan Club].
The product line comes with the full cooperation of Courtney Love, who initially green-lighted the project, as well as a previous 2007 auction of the dead rock star’s memorabilia “to make a lot of money.”
While the Converse Century campaign is also using images of several other artists, such as Ian Curtis, M.I.A. and Hunter S. Thompson, who they are calling Converse Century Icons, the Cobain is not one of these “icons.”
Converse will release the full details of the shoes in April. Exclaim News: Converse Launches Kurt Cobain Sneakers  |

I haven't been to this site in a while, but all I would like to say for now is... Screw Courtney Love! I love how this talentless cunt can only make money off her dead husband. I may have bought these products back in the 90's, but now that I see Courtney for what she is, she can bet her saggy ass I'll never buy another Nirvana product as long as she's in control (whether it be fully or semi). |

If the ad campaign is as suspect as the Doc Martin one, im expecting photos of his dead body in the greenhouse, with his converse one star on show. |

| | | I don't find them completely hideous but I do think that it's a total rape to kurt cobain's memory, principles and everything he ever stood for. As if the kurt cobain action figures weren't enough. ffs, anyone who really was/is a nirvana fan knows that he was totally against the idea of commercializing anything. |

| | | If I try to picture Kurt's shoes I imagine them being faded, tacky, worn-down and full of holes. Quite appropriate that it's Converse putting them out then, they'll be just right after you've worn them twice.
