Not content with just selling Kiss branded cycling shorts, Frisbees and red wine, the band have added Vans Sk8-Hi shoes to their online shop.

The shoes feature all four members (two faces per shoe), as seen on the cover art of four albums they released in September 1978.

According to Vans, the shoes are constructed with black canvas and suede uppers.

You can check out a picture of the shoes here.

If you have ever watched Family Jewels you would know that he'll slap the KISS name on ANYTHING that will make him a dime. I'd be very surprised to find out that there weren't already other KISS-branded shoes out there.

Dudes! ACE FREHLEY!!! Enough said! Just cause Gene sucks doesn't mean you should hate the rest of the band. They are an American Icon like it or not.

I like Knights In Satan's Service (KISS) I think their music is pretty cool...I understand if people don't like em, I respect that. Anyways, Gene Simmons is a master mind at making money off of almost anything. Gotta grab the cash while you can, right? As for the shoes, they're not THAT terrible;ODD, but definitely not close to the worst looking item in the world. For KISS fans, the shoes actually look decent, but I doubt they will match anything.

Yeah, KISS is an American icon and their music definitely stands the test of time. I can respect Gene for what he's doing, but I still think the stuff is gay as crap...and any dude that wears it deserves his a$$ beat...lol. Except for my GnRshorts and my Poison beret...haha!!! How about those Stryper condoms? That would be funny...hahaha.

KISS certainly doesn't rule. They are good and made their impact in rock history, but rule? I think not.

These songs definitely do rule though: God of Thunder, Creatures of the Night, Detroit Rock City, I Love It Loud...ha!

Still think any kiss apparel is freakin' gay! Sue me for not being poltically correct, 'cause I'm not!

KISS are alright, but they definitely don't "rule".

Jenny, I'm not sure, but I don't think KISS actually stands for Knights in Satan's Service. I don't believe it stands for anything. I believe that's just something that right-wing Christian zealots made up to get people to hate KISS.

Now playing: Warrel Dane (of Nevermore) - "Messenger"
