Converse Launch Kurt Cobain Trainers

added 14 August 2008 at 15.33

The Nirvana frontman inpires new line of footwear.

Top trainer makers Converse have launched a new brand of footwear inspired by Kurt Cobain. Working with the Nirvana frontman's widow Courtney Love, "The Kurt Cobain Music Collection" features diary extracts and song lyrics scribbled across three different Converse brands. The trainees are "distressed in the way Kurt Cobain wore them" and have been issued to mark the hundredth anniversary of the label. The shoes will be exclusively available at the Converse store in Carnaby Street, London.

What do you think? Should rock legends be used to sell shoes? And if so, who should be the next star to lend his or her name to? Leave a comment here.

  8. He probably didn't hate the corp world but no one on this page is saying that.

    Although someone of Kurt's character and music wouldn't go to the same level as what other singers have done.

  9. Thats why Kurt shot himself in the head, he had no shoe endorsment deals. Now he can rest in peace in his grave. He didn't hate the corporate world at all.
