Vans always seem to have cool band shoes on the market, and for this week they have four special SXSW styles. Each day of SXSW, Vans has been re-releasing a new style of sneakers for purchase. For yesterday the 13th and today the 14th, Vans reissued Circle Jerks and Motörhead shoes, respectively. On the 15th and the 16th, styles for Bad Brains and Rise Against will be released. Unfortunately, only 150 pairs of each style were released, with 100 pairs online and 50 available at the Vans Village at SXSW, and it appears that the first two are already out of stock, so you really have to want them. In addition, the website states that all proceeds will go to benefit the victims and the families of the recent tragedy at SXSW, which is a classy move.
