Converse are celebrating their 100 year anniversary by selling four limited edition shoes, featuring Kurt Cobain and the Grateful Dead.
The Fall 2008 Footwear Collection will apparently "celebrate the brand's iconic presence throughout the last ten decades and undeniable influence on pop culture", reads a press release.
Here are photos of all four shoes - article continues underneath.
Each act will be the subject of two pairs of shoes, with Grateful Dead's retailling at $40 - $70 (sold from June) and Cobain's homage costing $50 - $65 (available now). The shoes will be sold in the US at Journeys stores.
Scott Patt, Converse Global Footwear Creative Director, says of the decision to select the two musical figures: "As we continue into the second half of the Converse Century with our Fall 2008 Footwear Collection, we celebrate the originals who have never been afraid to disrupt the status quo."
"They are the renegades of sound, the league-changers, champions of underachievement, the paint drippers and those with flawless style. These pioneers follow what's inside and do what they believe to be right. They are the ones who have created the last 100 years of Converse history and will be the ones to define the next 100 years."
