Beastie Boys Converse Shoes
It’s been awhile since we heard anything about the Beastie Boys, the hip hop trio from New York known for such hits as Sabotage, Root Down and Girls.The Beastie Boys were at the pinnacle of their success in the late 80s through the mid-90s, but they’re back! A limited edition Converse shoe is coming out, featuring never-before-seen photos of the band’s 1986 Licenced to Ill Tour, shot by Sunny Bak.
We mention Sunny Bak as he is the driving force behind the new Beastie Boys Converse shoes. Neither Converse nor the Beastie Boys are involved in the collaboration. Sunny Bak had the shoes printed using the tour photos – to which she owns the rights – as fashion art pieces.
So, you won’t be able to head to your local shoe store and pick up a pair of the Beastie Boys Converse shoes. You will be able to purchase them on eBay for about $200, with 10% of each purchase benefiting Prop 8 Films, who craft “socially conscious” documentary films. You can also check out the shoes at the Hold Up Art website, where they’ll be posted in the near future.
