To honor the upcoming 30th anniversary of Metallica’s best-selling ‘Black Album,’ the duo has teamed up on two limited-edition designs of Van’s Sk8-Hi and Classic Slip-On silhouettes. Each new style features artwork designed by Metallica artist Pushead, who has provided imagery for the band’s merchandise and stage sets since 1986. The artist’s iconic “Sad But True” design featuring facing skulls makes its way onto the quarter panels of the Sk8-Hi and opposing sides of each Classic Slip-On. The styles also include a graphic blue shatter pattern, silver Metallica branding and the word “Metallica” printed on the heel stay.
