Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker rang in the new year by celebrating their son Rocky in a very on-brand way, giving fans a glimpse of the little one’s growing style and the meaning of his latest gift.
The Blink-182 drummer shared a photo on Dec. 27 showing a small pair of black Vans sneakers made especially for his 2-year-old son.
The shoes featured metal spikes and the words “Dues Paid,” instantly attracting attention for their fashion-forward look.
Although they may appear at first glance to be a cool fashion statement, sneakers have a deeper meaning.
They’re part of Travis’ personal collaboration with Vans, designed to reflect his journey and the perseverance that has shaped his career.
According to the brand, the shoes represent resilience and creative courage, with design details such as barbed wire accents, canvas material and iconic branding directly tied to Travis’ identity.
Seeing them scaled down for Rocky added a sentimental layer for fans, especially as the little one continues to be surrounded by music, creativity and style from a young age.
This isn’t the first time that Rocky’s wardrobe has reflected his father’s musical universe.
Earlier this year, Kourtney shared a photo of her son wearing a Def Leppard T-shirt while walking with Travis during his band’s tour.
The couple often chose to blend family life and music culture, and Rocky’s growing collection of rock-inspired outfits reflects this approach.
The holiday season was filled with celebrations for the whole family.
Travis’ daughter Alabama also received several luxury gifts, including designer handbags and jewelry, which she proudly shared online.
Kourtney and Travis also helped select special gifts, making the festivities more personal and family-friendly.
As the new year begins, it’s clear that Rocky is already entering a world shaped by creativity, music and meaningful traditions, one small pair of sneakers at a time.
