Vans and KISS have once again come together to create a line of clothing worthy of joining any true rock fan’s closet, or anyone who wants a lead-in for showing off their ridiculously long tongue.
Taking inspiration from the band’s second album ‘Hotter Than Hell’, the SK8-Hi sneakers, slip-on shoes and graphic tee are just what ‘Dr. Love’ ordered. If you don’t get that reference… go get some KISS in your life.
