Travis Barker is currently selling tons of Blink-182 memorabilia online following the end of the band’s reunion tour.
In addition to drum heads and drumsticks, he also sold a pair of his signature blood-stained black Vans shoes at a very high price. Other items in the drummer’s blood-stained collection include Dickies pants, a bloody drumstick and a blood-stained drum head — all used or worn during his band’s tour.
Travis Barker Confirms His Go-To Van’s Bloody Condition To Buyers
Barker, known for his intense drumming style, often resulting in bloody hand injuries, is now raking in a lot of money for his gory stuff. The megastar took to social media to inform his millions of followers that he has put up a range of memorabilia for sale following a collaboration with verified collectibles platform Trofi.
Shortly after the announcement, the 48-year-old’s size 9.5 Van earned $4,000 through the platform. According to the item listing for the blood-soaked Vans from his 2023 World Tour, “You can almost step into Travis Barker’s shoes.”
The black Vans x Mastermind kicks, also described as “featuring real blood splashes!” in the listing, was presented ready to hang “in a museum-grade acrylic Trophy Case” for fans to display their unique finds.
Barker shared updates about the lucky buyer via his Instagram Stories, reposting the individual’s Story. The last post came with the text, “My Christmas present to myself.”
They also shared a second Story with more details, writing, “I hit the bought button!” across the Van sales page. Underneath, tbar_ker added, “Another great souvenir added to the best Travis Barker collection on Earth!”
The third story from a lucky Instagram user is a recording that begins with a display on his direct message, with one from Barker leading the page. Upon opening the message, viewers are treated to the musician’s reaction to the buyer’s Story.

While her response to one of the Stories was a fire emoji, her second reaction to the other was text, reading, “Blood, sweat and tears.” The excited fan wrote, “Travis Barker just liked my post and messaged me ?,” against the clip.
Like the buyer, other fans have taken it a step further, snapping up a pair of blood-soaked drumsticks for $1,500 and a snare drum head bearing the rocker’s DNA for $2,000.
Blink-182 fans who have yet to grab any blood-stained merchandise are in luck, as Barker has another one filled with his bodily fluids. A pair of black Dickies pants, with blood covering the knees, can still be had for $6,000.
Celebrities Can’t Tell Barker Apart from His Wax Figures
In October, Madame Tussauds unveiled Barker’s wax figure, which fans agreed was one of the most lifelike creations to date. As shown in a series of photos on his social media, the figure is decked out in a leather jacket, pants, studded belt, and boots.
The realistic figure perfectly captures the father-of-two’s dark eyebrows, tattoos and bright blue eyes, with the museum adding a bit of flair with accessories such as a Cuban chain necklace, a replica of his wedding ring and a silver nose ring.

The +44 co-founder proudly poses next to a figure wearing a red crew neck T-shirt that reads “Don’t F— With Me” in an all cap, black beanie and silver necklace.
In one flash, the artist puts one hand on the statue’s shoulder, and in a playful moment, he leans into the camera, as if planting a kiss on the statue’s lips. Additional photos capture Barker snickering, covering his face, flipping the camera and making a screaming expression.
The final slide, a video, featured the camera zooming out to showcase Barker making funny faces before focusing on her perfect wax facial features. In the caption, he invited fans, writing, “Let’s say hi to my clone.”
The life-like resemblance between her and the figure drew heavy attention, with her sister-in-law, Khloe Kardashian, expressing her admiration in the comment, “OK this is scary!!!!! Wow!!!!” He added, “I swear it took me a minute to figure out who it was.”
“Sk8er Boi” singer Avril Lavigne also weighed in on the comments and emphasized, “Holy s—. I can’t tell you which one, haha.”
Barker’s fans also voiced their opinions, with one quipping, “Looks like the guy in red is bothering you” and another stating, “I actually don’t know which one is real on 1 that’s crazy.”
