Grateful Dead Chuck Taylors

Grateful Dead have finally grabbed up all their money chips and have sold everything under the sun, but now they are hawking Converse Chuck Taylors.
Here is the hype sheet:
"Converse continues its celebration of 100 years with the debut of its Fall 2008 Footwear Collection that celebrates the brand’s iconic presence throughout the last ten decades and undeniable influence on pop culture. Converse pays homage to The Grateful Dead and Kurt Cobain as musicians who have transformed culture and changed the world featuring shoes designed to honor these pioneers of music who have disrupted the status quo."

Does that rock band have no shame?

I love the fantastic approach with applying pop-art to fashion. Very interesting approach to an old shoe.
