Kurt Cobain Collection by Kurt Cobain

Year launched: 2007

The collection of Kurt Cobain kicks feature two parts – one are “vintagized” versions of the Chuck Taylor, One Star, and Jack Purcell while the other is a collection of Chucks covered in Cobain’s sketches and writings from his journal entries.
Cobain was an American musician who served as lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter for the Seattle-based grunge band Nirvana. During the last years of his life, Cobain struggled with drug addiction and the media pressures surrounding him and his wife, Courtney Love. On April 8, 1994, Cobain was found dead in his home in Seattle, the victim of what was officially ruled a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head. In ensuing years, the circumstances of his death became a topic of fascination and debate. In the years following his death, Cobain is now often remembered as one of the most iconic rock musicians in the history of alternative music.
