We previewed these KISS x Vans Sk8 Hi last month. The teaming of two legends, rockers KISS, and skate company Vans, makes for an incredible tribute to the bands 1978 craziness. In case you don’t know, each image you see on the shoe represents one of the band members. In 1978 each band member used that their image, as the cover for their own solo album. They all released their albums on the same day! Amazingly, all of the albums charted in the top 50!

This kind of radical approach has made KISS one of the most popular rock groups of all time. It’s no surprise they chose to collaborate with Vans, who is equally known for thinking outside the box. Each pair of shoes features all four of the images from those album covers of 1978.

These Vans have hit retailers and are available now. Thanks to our friends at Palace5ive for the update and the pictures. Detailed shots after the jump.

Ace Frehley, is a lead guitarist and original member of the rock band Kiss founded by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. “Space Ace” as he was known, now has his own shoe thanks to this upcoming collaboration release, the KISS x Vans Sk8 Hi. The legendary rockers have also used the classic album cover for Dressed to Kill as inspiration for the 2nd of these Kiss X Vans Sk8 Hi. No release date has been set for these yet, but just like the album back in 1975, they’ll surely Rock n’ Roll all night when they drop. Check out the photos after the jump. Info via mashKulture.
