Courtney Love and Converse will proudly albeit sadly perpetuate the memory of Kurt Cobain with the issuance of a signature shoe line in the late frontman's name later this spring. Containing artwork and scribbles from Cobain's personal notebooks, first published as part of 2002's 'Journals,' the special collection of athletic footwear – sanctioned by Courtney Love and the Cobain estate – will debut in May, according to Internet reports.Touted as a tribute to the Nirvana brainchild, three of the Converse models that Cobain was often seen sporting – Chuck Taylor All Star, Jack Purcell and One Star – will be included in the new collection. The revised versions of said Cons classics will include wear and fray detailing, as well as Cobain's signature embroidered on the exterior of each shoe.
Marking the first branded product that the Cobain estate has approved since his death, the shoes will be made in black and white versions and will retail at $50 to $65. Cobain, by the way, was wearing a pair of black Converse One Tops when he was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in April 1994.
