Travis Barker's Blooded Tour Worn Vans Sell For A Whopping $4,000

Travis Barker is currently selling numerous Blink-182 memorabilia online following the conclusion of the band's reunion tour.

Alongside drum heads and drumsticks, he also sold a pair of his signature black Vans sneakers covered in his blood for a whopping sum. Other items in the drummer's bloodied collection include Dickies pants, bloody drumsticks, and blood-stained drum heads — all of which were used or worn during his band's tour.

Barker, renowned for his intense drumming style, often resulting in gory hand injuries, is now raking in the big bucks for his bloodied items. The megastar took to social media to inform his millions of followers that he had put up multiple memorabilia for sale following a collaboration with the authenticated collectibles platform Trophy.

Shortly after the announcement, the 48-year-old's size 9.5 Vans fetched $4,000 through the platform. According to the item listing for the blood-soaked Vans from his 2023 World Tour, "You can almost step inside Travis Barker's shoes." 

The black Vans x Mastermind kicks, also described as "featuring real blood splatter!" in the listing, was presented ready to hang "in a museum-grade acrylic Trophy Case" for fans to showcase their unique find.

Barker shared an update on the lucky buyer via his Instagram Story, reposting the individual's Story. The latter post came with the text, "My Christmas present to myself."

They also shared a second Story with more details, writing, "I pushed the button bought!" across the sales page of the Vans. Just beneath that, tbar_ker added, "Another great souvenir added to the best Travis Barker collection on Earth!"

A third Story from the lucky Instagram user was footage that kicked off with a view at his direct messages, with one from Barker topping the page. Upon opening the message, onlookers got treated to the musician's reaction to the buyer's Stories. 

While his response to one of the Stories was the fire emoji, his second reaction to another was a text, reading, "Blood, sweat and tears." The excited fan penned, "Travis Barker just liked my post and messaged me ?," against the clip.

Like the buyer, other fans have taken their enthusiasm a step further, already acquiring the blood-stained pair of drumsticks for $1,500 and snare drum heads containing the rocker's DNA for $2,000. 

Blink-182 supporters who have yet to snag any of the various blood-stained items are in luck, as Barker has another piece of merchandise filled with his bodily fluids. A pair of black Dickies pants, with blood covering the knees, is still available for purchase for $6,000.

In October, Madame Tussauds unveiled Barker's wax figure, which made followers agree that it was one of the most lifelike creations to date. As showcased in a series of pictures on his social media, the figure was adorned in a leather jacket, pants, a studded belt, and boots. 

The realistic figure perfectly captured the father of two's dark eyebrows, tattoos, and bright blue eyes, with the museum adding some flair with accessories like a Cuban chain necklace, a replica of his wedding ring, and silver nose rings. 

The co-founder of +44 proudly posed alongside the figure wearing a red round-neck T-shirt with the emphatic inscription "Don't F— With Me" in all caps, a black beanie, and a silver necklace. 

In one snapshot, the artist had one arm around the effigy's shoulders, and in a playful moment, he backed the camera, seemingly planting a kiss on its lips. Additional photos captured Barker pouting, covering his face, flipping off the camera, and making a yelling expression. 

The final slide, a video, highlighted the camera zooming out to showcase Barker making a humorous face before focusing on the wax's impeccable facial features. In the caption, he invited fans, writing, "Come say hi to my clone."

The lifelike resemblance between him and the figure attracted heavy attention, with his sister-in-law, Khloe Kardashian, expressing her amazement in the comments, "OK this is scary real!!!!! Wow!!!!" She added, "I swear it took me a minute to figure out who was who."

"Sk8er Boi" singer Avril Lavigne also stepped into the comments and emphasized, "Holy s—. I couldn't tell which one was you, haha." 

Barker's fans also chimed in with their opinions, with one quipping, "Looks like the guy in the red shirt bothering you" and another stating, "I actually didn't know which was real at 1st that's crazy."
