Converse Kurt Cobain Collection


Posted by James on March 19, 2008 11:24 PM | Email


Here comes more concrete information about one of the collections of the year and one we previewed here. One of rock's most prolific songwriters and reluctant successes, Kurt Cobain humbly took the underground grunge movement mainstream. In the process, he changed his generation and left the world with a legacy of songs that continue to inspire generations to come. To honor this music great, Converse debuts the Kurt Cobain collection of shoes that feature artwork and scribbles borrowed from his personal journal notebooks. 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". Often pictured wearing Chuck Taylor All Star, Jack Purcell or One Star shoes, the collection includes versions of all three shoes with wear and fray detailing and Kurt Cobain's signature subtly embroidered on the shoe's outer. Available in black and white versions with lyric, notebook scribbles or distressed detailing, shoes in this collection will be available at select stores and online at Converse come May in the meantime view the entire collection below.
