MUSIC NEWS- We've seen the Liam Gallagher/ OASIS clothing line announced, Scott Weilland's clothing recently too! And now, rock guitar icon Eddie Van Halen brings us his sneakers. Yes, he's partnered with FEA Merchandising and announced 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 Van Halen
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 album. All 3 color themes are available in high and low top versions, with the familiar “5150” tag adorning the spine. These classic canvas style sneakers have been “road tested” by Eddie over several tours and were last seen on the band's sold out 2007 / 2008 North American arena tour!
