The Vans Bad Brains Collection Brings an Old Band Back into the Lime Light

Vans collaborates with more musicians than any other brand, bringing in artists from all genres to contribute to their lines. The Vans Bad Brains Collection is the latest in the rocker couplings.

This line will appeal to the old school fans as well as possibly bringing in younger generations who buy Vans merchandise, but may not have heard of the punk group. The Vans Bad Brains Collection is to be released this summer and is featuring a full line of clothing. You can find them in mosh pits everywhere.
