PITTSBURGH, PA — Vans and Mac Miller’s estate have teamed up to release a limited-edition
sneaker marking the five-year anniversary of the late rapper's last album "Swimming."
Retailing for $100, the shoe went on for sale on Thursday via Miller's website and sold out within hours.
According to Billboard, a percentage of proceeds from the shoe sales will go toward the Mac Miller Fund, an organization that provides young musicians with grants and other resources.
