To honor Cobain, in May, Converse will debut their Kurt Cobain collection of shoes featuring artwork and scribbles borrowed from Cobain's personal notebooks. It will mark a central part of the year-long 100th Anniversary 'Welcome to the Converse Century' celebration.
"Distressed in the way Kurt Cobain wore them, the shoes provide a rarely seen glimpse into the head of this musical and lyrical genius with sketches that display his hopes, dreams and lyrics from amazing songs such as Come As You Are."
To further pay tribute to the late singer, three of the Converse shoes that Cobain was often seen wearing will be reflected in the new collection which includes versions of Chuck Taylor All Star, Jack Purcell and One Star shoes. To make the collection even more unique, they'll have wear and fray detailing and Kurt Cobain's signature subtly embroidered on the shoe's outer.
There are no current plans to use Nirvana songs in connection with the marketing campaign that will be used to launch the shoes. However, this line of shoes represents the first collection or collaboration that the Cobain estate has done with a brand at all.
The shoes come out between May 1 and June 1 in the US. They will be available from the official Converse website as well as the Journeys stores across the US. The shoes retail from somewhere between $44.99 and $49.99. Already now you can order them from the Journeys website.
In Europe, they are on a different product cycle to the US on the Kurt Cobain shoes. In most European markets, the shoes will be available around August-September. There's no word yet on which stores will offer the shoes around Europe.
Краткий перевод:
К столетию Конверсов, Конверс выпускает серию кед в память Курта Кобейна, так как он очень любил их кеды, и даже умер в них.
На кедах будут тексты песен, рисунки, афтографы Курта.
В Америки они появятся в свободной продаже в Мае (50$), в Европе - в Августе.
Уже сейчас их можно заказать в веб магазине http://www.journeys.com/ и на сайте Конверсов.
