The first item in the collaboration is the Era. The low cut, skate friendly shoes have a black leather upper featuring symbols from the album art for Led Zeppelin IV.
The second shoe in the capsule collection, the Sk8-Hi, features the image of the Hindenburg from the band’s 1969 debut.
From the Twitter post, we can also see that there are two shirts as part of the capsule collaboration. They appear to have one design for each album cover, and a baseball cap to top off the collection.
