The Kurt Cobain Converse: For Those Days When Your Doc Martens Need To Be Aired Out
Because there aren’t enough “Commodify Your Dissent” jokes out there, the Daily Swarm is reporting that Converse plans to release a line of Kurt Cobain-inspired sneakers as part of the company’s 100th-anniversary celebration. Unlike the Doc Martens campaign from last year, this line of footwear is approved by Courtney Love, perhaps because Cobain loved One-Stars so much, he decided to die in them. I guess I could be all “blah blah blah capitalism” about this, but instead I’m trying to come up with a list of sneakers that would commemorate other important moments of the past 100 years.
