More Nirvana Converse are to release a limited edition signature shoe in honour of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.
The shoe, which will include Cobain’s name, lyrics and signature, marks the brand’s 100th anniversary.
Cobain’s widow Courtney Love has sanctioned the release, just months are she attacked Doc Martin’s for using the Nirvana star in an advertising campaign.
Converse have already used Joy Division’s Ian Curtis and Sex Pistols’ Sid Vicious to help celebrate their 100th anniversary, reports Brand Republic.
The brand’s decision to use the dead artists’ names to promote it’s shoes has attracted wide-spread criticism.
