News Dead Man’s Shoes

Posted by Ned Lannamann on Mon, Mar 17 at 2:12 PM

deadmansshoes.jpgOh, dear sweet Jesus. Do we really need Kurt Cobain’s name plastered all over a pair of Chucks? Converse thinks we do, and Courtney Love’s on board. So feast your eyes on the most unnecessary celebrity tie-in ever. And YES, these appear to be modeled on the same one-star black pair that Kurt was wearing when he offed himself.

Hat tip to Daily Swarm, which has the full story, and more pics, too.
