A three-and-a-half-minute clip in which new
Vans team rider
Pat Moore takes a few turns with
METALLICA drummer
Lars Ulrich can be seen below. The two discuss music and the new sneaker that
Lars created for
Vans.
In a continuing creative partnership,
Vans and
METALLICA have introduced a four-piece signature collection designed by each band member delivering to stores in February. Each
METALLICA member —
James Hetfield,
Lars Ulrich,
Kirk Hammett and
Robert Trujillo — had free rein to choose any iconic
Vans shoe style and make it their own while drawing from their favorite influences in the worlds of music, action sports and art to create
Vans shoes reflecting their personal style.
For his
Vans shoe (see photo below), Ulrich updated the Era Laceless design with brushed twill materials and a print taken from the diamond plate pattern on his snare drum. He also added a Dirty Donny character on the inside heel of the shoe.
The shoe is available at the
Metallica x Vans microsite.
In March,
METALLICA will introduce the
"Kill 'Em All"-themed shoes featuring the classic Slip-On and Sk8-Hi styles, each emblazoned with artwork commemorating the album's 30th anniversary.
