EDDIE VAN HALEN LAUNCHES EVH BRAND SIGNATURE STRIPED SNEAKERS
AVAILABLE ONLINE AT EVHGear.com AND IN STORES NOW
Legendary rock guitar icon Eddie Van Halen, and partner FEA Merchandising
are proud to announce 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
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. All 3 color themes are available in high and low top versions, with
the familiar “5150” tag adorning the spine.
Available now online at www.EVHGear.com
and at department and specialty stores worldwide, EVH signature striped
sneakers follow in the footsteps of other EVH signature items like Wolfgang
guitars, 5150 amplifiers, and EVH accessories. These classic canvas style
sneakers have been “road tested” by Eddie over the course
of several tours and were most recently seen on the sold out 2007 / 2008
North American arena tour with his band Van Halen.
