Metallica and Vans team up to launch new range of footwear, t-shirts and more – on sale from February 16

Metallica and Vans have once again joined forces to release a new range of merchandise.

It’s the third time the duo have teamed up, with the new collection featuring footwear, apparel and accessories.

A statement on the partnership reads: “The Vans x Metallica collection highlights the newly designed Metallica logo for a heavy metal rendition of Vans classic silhouettes.

“Dressed in full grain leather upper and tonal deco-stitched Sidestripe, the Sk8-Hi Reissue showcases an etched Metallica logo on the sidewall with a wrapped version on the quarter panels.

“The Classic Slip-On features an all-over logo print across the vamp and is finished with the same engraved Metallica logo on the sidewalls. A short sleeve t-shirt and trucker hat round out the offering using a Vans x Metallica logo lock-up.”

The collection will be available in Vans retail stores, online and through Metallica’s website from February 16.

Metallica are currently on the road across Europe on the latest leg of their WorldWired tour.
