Chill out! Yes the journal should never have been released. But still the low jack purcells are pretty tight. im 14 and i dont think im all hard core i just think these are cool shoes and id still buy em even if converse didnt say anything about Kurt.

okay so i’m a HUGE kurt cobain & Nirvana fan and the shoes are amazing in my point of view.
As much as i know that Kurt hated being famous i want these shoes.
But hes dead now, and obviously **** will never be the same.
So Courtney love could go drown herself in money, for all i care.
=D

“…I love Nirvana. I love that band. Enough said.

I want these shoes because they are a way of remembering this amazing time in history. I like the song written on there, I like converse.

So fu*k all you haters. I’m buying my f*cking shoes.”

I’d have to agree with ‘Really?’ on this. What’s the big deal? I love these shoes because they serve as a a personal reminder of who Kurt was and what he achieved. And I love the designs and the lyrics to the songs which I love. And I love Kurt. I love his music. I’d like to walk around with these shoes on my feet. So why don’t we just respect that? Why do we have to get fussy about it? If you respect Kurt as a musician and dig his music… you should know why Converse designed this range. Enough said.

does anyone know why kurt killed himself? It was because he couldnt stand seeing his music and his love whored in the commercial world that is america. he represented the underdog, the dirty and diseased. even when he became famouse his life wasnt all caviar and cream. these shoes, being just that, shoes. dont represent anything kurt cobain. they’r just shoes, attempting to feed off his legacy. but by some of the comments im seeing, his fans are not to be fooled…

Thank You.

“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.”

-just a note that Kurt Cobain did not live under a bridge…
shows how much you know about him?!

I love Nirvana. I like converse. Maybe I shouldn’t wear a Nirvana band shirt unless it came from pre 94. I don’t know, all I know is that I love the music! I can identify with it. All you hipsters out there if you like Nirvana, fine. I grew up on Nirvana. Whether I know all their songs or maybe just Smells Like Teen Spirit, what difference does it make! If just one song struck a chord with you thats fine.

Anyways I bought the shoes. They look good and I don’t care if I wear them out, so they look “vintage” ,or if they look “brandnew” all the time!! If these shoes were at a thrift store, walmart, or whatever I would have got them. If I had to stop partying for a few weekend to afford them, I probably would do that. But, they are chuck t’s and they aren’t the most expensive shoes in the world. I would have a problem if like Nike made a Cobain shoe. I don’t think anyone would buy them if they were made by Nike.

By the way, artists like to do art to express themselves. The more they are appreciated the more they are, in a way understood as a person. Sometimes, people like things, because they represent something they what to be part of, not because they like it. Thats fine.

All I know is I’ll always like Nirvana even when its not cool. I remember being in high school I wore the Nirvana shirt with the yellow smiley and was sent home to change. They probly don’t do that nowadays. I just remember that if you liked Nirvana in those days you were either just riding the hipster wave(they loved “Smells like Teen Spirit”), or were just a nerdy oddball.(We loved Incesticide!) I was the later.

Okay. This is so funny.

Now much as I love Kurt Cobain I’m not too sure about these shoes. I think it’s a little bit off putting his diaries and stuff on shoes.

But! They have been published in a book before so maybe its not that big a deal.

But! Courtney love getting the money!? For F*cks sake! She’s a stupid B*tch and she deserves nothing! Why are they selling Kurt’s work and giving the money to his F*cking murderer!?!

Shame on you converse.

Kurt was a great artist,but that was years ago, support his music, listen to it, but other then that get a life, go to church love God the way you do kurt, cause he’s just a tad more important.
