Print Ad: Kink – Aaron Smith
This is so badass. Kink wanted to take a new approach to things with their advertising for 2013 and they’ve ended up with a new series they will be premiering over the next few months. Above is their first ad featuring Aaron Smith getting his Terminator on. Find out more about the ad below along with a behind the scenes look video to see how they put this together. After you check that out HIT THIS LINK to check out a photogallery and more!
“We took a less conventional approach to our ads for 2013. And to really get that point across we knew we had to go big out of the gate. That being said, we started out the series with Aaron Smith portraying one of his heroes. Arnold Schwarzenegger from the Terminator movies. Throughout the year you will be seeing the Kink guys in a light less often shed on. And that is them off of their bikes. Oddly enough, Aaron is one of the toughest people to pin down what he really does off of his bike. Leading a relatively quiet and simple life when not on the road or hanging out in Boston, we figured there is at least one thing he has a passion for…
That would be movies. Not particularly good movies, but movies nonetheless. Aaron has voluntarily watched just about every movie you would expect nobody you know to have seen. With the Netflix catalog as his guide, Aaron knocks out movie after movie, night after night. With Arnold being one of his all time favorite actors/body builders it seemed fitting to attempt to emulate him for his ad. A bit of a stretch? Maybe. One of the funniest, most ridiculous things we have put out of recent times…definitely.”

“Vans and Metallica Debut Signature Shoes
Hitting Stores in February, Shoe Projects Bring Each Band Member’s Personal Style and Passions to Life
Los Angeles (February 4, 2013) – In a continuing creative partnership, Vans and iconic rock band Metallica proudly introduce a four-piece signature collection designed by each band member delivering to stores in February. Each Metallica member – James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo – had free reign to choose any iconic Vans shoe style and make it their own while drawing from their favorite influences in the worlds of music, action sports and art to create Vans shoes reflecting their personal style.
Each shoe release is accompanied by a video capturing the unique shared passions between Kirk, James, Robert and Lars and favorite Vans team riders. The first edition highlights the “Trujillo Trio,” the result of Robert’s introduction to Vans’ skater Tony Trujillo and the musical mayhem that follows. Stay tuned to vans.com/metallica and metallica.com for more details on the signatures shoes and for each new video drop.
The Vans x Metallica Signature Shoes:
James Hetfield – Inspired by his favorite black boots, James added hex-bolt eyelets and a personal take on the skull and cross-bones, illustrated by Hetfield himself, to “Metallicize” this Vans Sk8-Hi Deconstruct.
Lars Ulrich – Putting a twist on one of Vans’ original Classics, Lars updated the Era Laceless with brushed twill materials and a print taken from the diamond plate pattern on his snare drum. He finished his shoe with a Dirty Donny character on the inside heel.
Kirk Hammett – Tying back to a love of surfing and nature, Kirk chose an all-natural upper made of hemp for his collapsible Slip-On. The inside heel is accented with a guitar pick inspired by his Ouija guitar and designed by one of Metallica’s favorite artists, Dirty Donny.
Robert Trujillo – Robert grew up wearing Vans as a young skater in Venice Beach, California. For his shoe, he took Aztec calendar artwork, designed by his wife Chloe, which is carved in one of his bass guitars and placed it in blue, on the side of this Escuela.
In March, Vans and Metallica introduce Kill ’Em All theme shoes featuring two of Vans’ all-time favorite styles, the Classic Slip-On and the Sk8-Hi, each emblazoned with artwork marking the 30 years since the release of Metallica’s debut album.”
