For their Rolling Stone cover shoot back in 1992 Kurt Cobain famously wore a t-shirt declaring “Corporate Magazines Still Suck” as a way of sticking it to the establishment that was fawning over the band and seeing dollar signs. I’d like to see what Kurt’s reaction would have been to the new limited edition line of Converse sneakers that are coming out with his name attached to them…
The sneakers hit stores this summer in both high and low top versions, as a part of Converse’s Century Icons campaign. Who would actually buy these kicks?
UPDATE: The Daily Swarm has more info on the Cobain Custom Chuck’s
