Converse x Kurt Cobain Spring 2010 Sneaker

A look that transmutes recent fashion trends into the dominant pattern during the grunge era. Both say ‘punk rock means freedom’ on the lower side panels, a phrase that also appears on a simple black hightop pair of Chucks.

Invoking the spirit of Kurt Cobain Converse will introduce four new sneakers into their Kurt Cobain Music Series Collection. The releases will consist of two Chuck Taylor Hi’s and two Chuck Taylor Lo’s.

A grey/black plaid pattern is applied to a pair of Lo’s and a pair of Hi’s with “Punk Rock Means Freedom” printed in black just above the sole unit. The other two sneakers sport unique designs from either with the Lo’s featuring a white upper with some sort of graphic included along the ankle and the other pair of Hi’s having a black finish with “Punk Rock Means Freedom” printed in white along the base of the upper.In fact, if pretty much any other company else made these, anyone old enough would pull an instructive SMH in the direction of the young heads.

Converse anticipates 2010 and welcomes it with a collection

Chinese fashion has been influencing several designs in fashion starting from hair dresses up to the simplest accessories. And before 2009 ends, Converse has a Chinese-inspired collection which incorporates the designs and colors of the upcoming 2010 which is said to be the Year of the Tiger according to the Chinese calendar.

Since this is a Chinese Converse shoe, expect that the dominant color is red – a lucky color for the Chinese. Aside from the tiger patterns and black/red streaks on the shoes there are also Chinese characters and Chinese calligraphy as well.

There are four colors that part of the Converse Year of the Tiger collection. Fans of the Chuck Taylor will think of this as a must-have especially if they can pull of the color red.

No news yet about the specific date or release of the Converse Year of the Tiger collection. But I hope that these shoes will be out in the market just in time for the 2010 Chinese New Year.
