Kurt Cobain High Top Chucks

Converse issued this 2008 line of high tops in tribute to rock star Kurt Cobain as part of their century series of chucks. The shoes come with special tags. There is a circular tag that identifies the series as part of their Rock & Roll originals. A second tag describes Cobain this way: "He haunted Seattle's music scene, withdrawing into its grit and grime. He thought some of it made sense, but most of it didn't. So he turned to the only thing he knew for sure: his own music. Soon it became clear: the inspired songwriter with the scruffy hair and stormy eyes had taken the underground grunge movement mainstream." There are three high top models: the Signature which has an embroidered signature on the outside uppers, a fabric ankle patch, and preworn look on the rubber foxing and toe cap. The laces also have a worn look, and are more like the original Converse laces. The insole has the slogan "punk rock means freedom." The Lyrics model is traditional black and white, and has excepts from different songs printed on the canvas uppers and on the inner soles. One other cool feature is writing on the inside of the white wrap — "Reward if found. K. Cobain" The white Doodles model has different sketches from Cobain's notebooks, and the same reward inscription on the white outside wrap.
