Vans Classic Slip-On Checkerboard

Functional and practical in their lace-free design, the Vans Slip-On has always represented the brand and the culture it promotes and champions. Conceived in 1977 under the name #48, they were later renamed with the term we all know now, and underwent several redesigns over time. The Vans Classic Slip-On Checkerboard, featuring a minimal, clean design, was born after noticing that skateboarders were customizing the midsoles of their shoes with a checkerboard pattern. The checkered pattern symbolized racial unity and quickly becoming a distinctive element of skate subculture.

Wear the Classic Slip-On Checkerboard Platform, too, and consolidate the rules of skate culture with Vans.
