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.?? Converse worked from beginning to end with Kurt’s widow Courtney Love on the project.?? Converse shoes were a major part of Cobain’s life.?? 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.
