Eddie Van Halen is launching a new sneaker line. Eddie is teaming up with FEA Merchandising, a company which specializes in recording artist-designed merchandise. Eddie is creating a high top and a low top sneaker which feature red, white and black stripes just like the ones Eddie wears onstage.
The men's shoes, which are available for $54 (for low tops) and $59 (for high tops), are also available in black and white as well as black and yellow. The shoes will be sold at EVHgear.com, as well as select department and specialty stores.
"So many people would ask me, 'Where can I get a pair of those?'" Van Halen said in a statement about the style he's been wearing onstage. "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."
