A slip-on skate and culture icon since 1979 The Slip-On Checkerboard Shoe, originally Style 98, evolved from a Vans boat shoe into a skateboarding classic. With its padded collar, grippy waffle outsole, and laceless upper, it embodies effortless style and function. This timeless design remains a symbol of Vans’ Off The Wall spirit and Southern California roots. Now part of the Color Theory Collection, it’s reimagined in vibrant hues for a fresh, creative take.
