Vans ComfyCush Slip-Skool (Checkerboard)

Vans Checkerboard - starring a checkerboard! Slip-Ons, Old Skooly, Sk8-Hi and other well-known and time-tested silhouettes in a checkerboard design. The roots of the use of this pattern on Vans date back to the late 70s when Steve Van Doren, son of founder Paul, noticed skaters colouring the white soles of the Slip-Ons with black marker to create that aforementioned checkered design. As with many other Vans models, the Checkerboard collection is based on the skate pop culture of the last century. The Checkerboards definitely became legendary after 1982, hand in hand with the premiere of the movie Golden Times at Ridgemont High, where they were worn by the film's main character, played by Sean Penn. Their clever two-tone design also makes them much easier to match with your outfit, so pick yours up here at Footshop!

The Vans Slip-On is one of the most iconic Vans models today. The Slip-On canvas design ensures maximum flexibility, breathability and comfort, making the Vans Slip-On the ideal choice for casual wear. The Vans Slip-On shoes are available in several colourways, men's and women's options at Footshop.

Call it style, call it Vans Slip-On

The Vans Slip-On low shoes in both men's and women's versions will serve you for a lot of activities. By their very nature, they're suitable for skateboarding, but they'll also come in handy for everyday wear - without spending long minutes tying your laces.

The popular colorway is the so-called checkerboard, but the long history has offered the Vans Slip On in both classic all-weather black and casual white. The color, however, will be entirely up to you, so feel free to choose from plenty of others. Think about your choice of material too, as you can find them in canvas or leather on Footshop.

Happy selection.
