Led Zeppelin is partnering with the Vans footwear company to launch a limited-edition line of shoes and apparel in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the band's self-titled debut album.

The Vans x Led Zeppelin collection features low-top and high-top sneakers, a long-sleeve t-shirt and a trucker hat.

The low-top, called the Era, features multiple white images of the band members' personal symbols from the Led Zeppelin IV album cover arranged across the shoe's black leather top. In addition, the sneaker has a white rubber sidewall featuring the band's name in block letters.

The high-top, dubbed the Sk8-Hi, is black suede and canvas and features the fiery zeppelin from the group's first album wrapping around the back of the shoe, as well as the band's name in red lettering. This sneaker also has a white rubber sidewall on which the Led Zeppelin IV symbols appear.

Both the t-shirt and the hat feature the Led Zeppelin album art, as well as the band's name and the Vans slogan "Off the Wall" in red lettering.

The Vans x Led Zeppelin collection will be available for a limited time starting Friday, February 22, at Vans retail locations, various wholesale stores, Vans.com and Led Zeppelin's online store . You can get a preview of the collection now at the band's Facebook page .
