Courtney Love Squeezes a few more drops of cash from Kurt’s missing head corpse. Converse shoes announced.

As you may or may not know, Courtney Love has let Nike (converse) take Kurt’s legacy and rub it in the dirt for you.

Converse will start selling shoes with Kurts signature on them next month. Pre dirty, pre trashed and with his note book ramblings on ‘em. lo-cobain-sig-jp_06.jpg

I mean, if she needs the money for a new face, thats cool. But, this is a horrible idea. I for one, have worn Converse since I was in 2nd grade, I haven’t gotten a pair since Nike took them over: Except the (RED) pair I built online that say MADEX on the back for Aids charities,  and even that was a gift from my sister.

Sad to see a classic pair of shoe history go sour. Way to take a dead trend, rub it in dirt and sell it for more money. Lame Idea. Lame designs. Lame. Lame. Lame. Might as well, find those people who gave Elvis a new singing face.

What shoes are people rockin’ these days? I need a new pair of tennis shoes, non leather ones at that.

    these are worse that the MIsfits model. Fuck all of this. Remember when you had to draw on your own shoes? Remember pre-Hott Topic when you had to drive to LA or get some amazing punk crap from London? Now you can have Dr Know boxers. Fuck that.

    yeah, this shit is just horrid.
    not only do they look bad,
    the whole idea just reeks of poor taste.

    I have no idea who would buy them? No one my age would. And kids are too young you even appreciate them, so they wouldn’t buy them.

    I still wear Chuck Taylors low top in solid colors. I have a brown and a black pair. Other then that I wear vans slip on’s.

    But if this money is going to Courtney new face lift then I would just donate money to her… no need to strip his corpse to the bone.
