Vans baru saja merilis sepatu spesial untuk para penggemar Grunge, terutama mereka yang mengaku fans berat Pearl Jam. Kedua tipe Vans X Pearl Jam bisa kita lihat di gambar di bawah. Meskipun menurut kami desainnya terkesan terlalu 'bersih' dan classy untuk spirit grunge, tapi pastinya waktu dan debu akan membuatnya gelap dan menyedihkan.. Segelap raungan Eddie Vedder :)

"...They proved to be one of the most influential bands of the grunge movement. To date Pearl Jam has sold an estimated 60 million records worldwide. Eddie Vedder, Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard, Mike McCready and Matt Cameron continue to write, record and tour their music for fans around the world... This multi-platinum group are also surf and skateboarding enthusiasts. Vedder surfs the North Shore and bassist Jeff Ament had a pool built in his house to skate. Their uncompromising attitude against the music establishment, passion for board sports and the fact that they have worn Vans forever were reasons for one of our coolest music projects to date."

"...Pearl Jam is one of the great cornerstone bands of the ever-influential grunge movement. Since their first album, Ten, was released in 1991, they have proven to have the musical staying power only claimed by rock and roll legends. The Vans x Pearl Jam Sk8-Hi collaboration is being released with a lot of pride because these musicians are also avid skate and surf enthusiasts, and longtime Vans supporters."
