I don't want to turn Kurt Cobain into an apostle, but let's get serious... Doesn't he deserve better?! The sneakers would be one thing - but did Courtney have to allow images of his personal sketches and actual words from his diary to be emblazoned on the shoes? Literally and symbolically speaking, you are WALKING ON HIS WORDS. When you consider the context, the creativity, the angst and the emotion that was likely going on in those diary pages - isn't it sacrilegious to continually (and in the worst way, some might say) cash in on someone's artistry - their life's work?


Now putting this aside - I can't fault Converse.

Did I mention....; They got Jerry Garcia too?! - Yes, Virginia, there will two (here & here) Grateful Dead Converses coming to a shoe store in a Mall near you
