culture of rock. Recent models have included a line of Greatful Dead shoes, several Kurt
Cobain model high tops, a product Red distressed black Ramones high top, and
different prints like the coated color backstage pass, and punk prints on black and white
canvas. The shoes come with special tags also. Click on this link to see a photo gallery

Several correspondents have stated that their favorite musician who wore Converse All Stars was the late Kurt Cobain from Nirvana. Back
in the early 90's when he came out with great songs like "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Heart Shaped Box", he always had his black lowcuts on. He had stuff written on the toe-cap of the shoes. Kurt Cobain wore chucks all his life and was instrumental in establishing the
"grunge" style. As one of our contributors said, "He always looked so damn cool with his ripped up jeans, greasy hair, and his beat up
chucks. All Stars were always his shoes of choice."
