The shoes, limited to 125 production pairs, will NOT be available for sale but rather were created as promo for the band. These ultra rare shoes will be seen mainly in LA and NY where 3 shipments were made to Harley Flanagan, RPRT and Harley’s management.
This is the second punk collab that RPRT facilitated which includes a Circle Jerks x Primitive skate capsule collection.
