Kurt Cobain Converse Sneakers

To say that some Nirvana and Cobain fans were not happy to hear about an upcoming release of Kurt Cobain edition Converse sneakers is a major understatement. We received quite a few pieces of hate email thanks in large part to a rock station telling listeners that we were behind it! (We won’t put you on blast like you did to us).

The collection of Cobain kicks feature two parts – one are “vintagized” versions of the Chuck Taylor, One Star, and Jack Purcell while the other is a collection of Chucks covered in Cobain’s sketches and writings from his journal entries.Â Converse worked from beginning to end with Kurt’s widow Courtney Love on the project.Â Converse shoes were a major part of Cobain’s life.Â From living underneath a bridge all the way to MTV’s Unplugged and sadly until his end, Cobain wore Converse every step of the journey.

we all have diffrent views and opinions on things
i mean you’ll do whatever you can to support a band and not care what other people say about it i guess if you listen to others peoples views just to seem less like a poser it make you more of a poser.right?
No one can judge a true fan by what they wear its by what in their mind or heart!!!
i happen to be a fan of nirvana i grew up listening to them.
they are amazing they influence me im my music bu tim not gonna try to be them! im my own person…be your own mind you self dont worry about other people and what tjey are doing to support what they respect or love!!!

Yeah, but Nirvana has become commercialized. And these shoes are an example of that. Kurt didn’t like the commercialization of his music. So you would be going against what Kurt intended his music to be. That’s not true fandom, that’s ignorant surburbanism… you posers….

I like the shoes,and I seriously dont know what Kurt would think of it.
and probably no one of us will never know.
either he would be happy because Courtney still loved him enought to make him a memorial shoe line, either he would be pissed because he thought it was unnessearly or stupid.
We’ll never know.
I think that Kurt killed himself, i’ve seen videos on youtube that says that he’s still alive.
and the same thing they say about 2pac.
but come on! what’s like chanse of it?
And were would he be without gettin found?
It’s hard to fake deaths even how good argments it is.
and he was suidcidal and he said it himself that he wanted to kill himself at times because of his stomachillnesses.
and if its so that courtney gets all the bennefits of this shoe line I think that all the money should go to Frances. Kurt could not possible be mad if he knew that he’s daughter would get a good life out of it
So I do really have mixed opinoins of this chase.
Kurt wanted to be remembered,maybe it isn’t that bad?

courtney love sux!

I agree that the profit should go to Frances Bean.
Courtny sucks and deserves nothing.

Who cares what everyone else said. All the other comments are stupid and don’t make any sense. Just look at #34 from Devin and you will see this whole situation summed up perfectly. Kurt would’ve said the same thing as Devin, were he still alive. R.I.P Kurt, much love and respect to you.
