tops while playing guitar.

Green Day Nirvana publicity shot  

Several correspondents have stated that their favorite musician who wore Converse All Stars was the late Kurt Cobain from Nirvana. Backin 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 low-cuts 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 upchucks. All Stars were always his shoes of choice."
