First came Kurt Cobain Chucks , now the Grateful Dead have succumbed to the might of the Converse marketing dollar. It's not the first time the Dead have got all synergistic on us, as anyone who's ever pigged out on Cherry Garcia ice cream can attest (rock fact nabbed from Wikipedia: following Jerry Garcia's death in 1995, the red cherries were replaced by black ones for a month).
Next on the Converse hit list? The Doors, apparently, along with limited edition Pete & The Pirates sneakers to tie in with the launch of their single Come On Feet. Oh yes.
