EDDIE VAN HALEN LAUNCHES EVH BRAND SIGNATURE STRIPED SNEAKERS:
(Los Angeles, CA - April 14, 2009) Legendary rock guitar icon Eddie Van Halen and partner FEA Merchandising are proud to announce the release of EVH Brand Signature Striped Sneakers.
For nearly 2 decades, EVH fans have been attending Van Halen shows wearing homemade versions of the striped sneakers that Eddie wears onstage, modeled after his infamous red white and black striped Frankenstein guitar.
“So many people would ask me, where can I get a pair of those? After hearing that for about 15 years, I figured they were something that people obviously wanted, so making them available and official seemed like a natural progression,” Eddie said.
In addition to the red Frankenstein theme, the shoes are also available in White with Black stripe theme, which pays tribute to the guitar Eddie rewrote the rules with in 1978 and Black with Yellow stripes, which pays homage to the guitar that Eddie displays on the back cover of Van Halen II. All 3 color themes are available in high and low top versions, with the familiar “5150” tag adorning the spine.
Available now online at www.EVHGear.com and at department and specialty stores worldwide, EVH signature striped sneakers follow in the footsteps of other EVH signature items like Wolfgang guitars, 5150 amplifiers, and EVH accessories. These classic canvas style sneakers have been “road tested” by Eddie over the course of several tours and were most recently seen on the sold out 2007 / 2008 North American arena tour with his band Van Halen.

And there is a limited edition "Wolfy" shoe, for those that need a wider [ie: fatter] shoe! Wolfie's edition also includes a coupon for a free grilled soft taco from Taco Bell!

BE QUIET

I had a home-made pair back in the day. I bought a pair of red Converse All-stars (aka Chucks) and then airbrushed white and black stripes on 'em. One got all melty and burnt during a camping mishap and they had to be tossed. I also had a red tie that I did the same thing. Still have that one in the way back of the closet somewhere.

Not to be outdone KI$$ already their own set on Van Shoes out since Oct, Iron Maiden also released a set of their own footwear, and of course The Doors also did with an image of Jim Morrison, I am not sure if the lizard king would be pleased with this latest homage.

Betcha Candlemass has about 57 pairs of these.

I LOVE those Power Slave Maiden sneakers!
