Vans designers never run out of ideas in terms of turning their sneakers into appealing pieces. The latest inspiration was based on the KISS band, one of America’s prominent rock bands in the mid to late 1970s. The group was known with its elaborate live performances that feature fire breathing, blood spitting, smoking guitars, and pyrotechnics.
Today, although KISS do minimal appearances, its influence in music remains alive in the hearts of the big rock fans. As a tribute, Vans created the “Hotter Than Hell” Pack which consists a Sk8 Hi and a Slip-On. Both models feature graphics on the upper inspired by the band’s album’s artwork. For example, the Slip-On owns an upper which displays a graphic of the band members on the toe area while the Sk8 Hi presents the same graphic on the heel area with a Black nubuck toe and a set of Purple laces. Both models have Yellow inner liners and vulcanized rubber soles.
Aside from the Vans sneakers, Rise Against products were also designed with the same KISS concept. With its Slip-On and T-shirt, KISS artwork has been elated, once again to the public.
Minimal appearances?? Do you live under a rock?? Thety just finished a 100 plus city world tour with over 50 US dates that grossed over $150 million ?????
First, thank you on your astute post. I like your website and find it extremely educational. I love your facility of commenting (by blogging) little things that other people do not take the time to mention. I discovered it by doing a search on Bing and I sure will return here when I have more time.Thanks
