The Slip-On that’s been Setting Trends Since 1979 The first thing that jumps out is the color. Well, the lack of color, to be exact. Who knew that black and pewter could make for such an eye-popping combination? This Kids Classic Slip-On Checkerboard takes the rules of coordination and throws caution to the wind. Vans is all about that “Off The Wall” attitude, and this checkerboard Slip-On is the dictionary definition of that approach. The low-profile canvas uppers, supportive padded collars, and elastic side accents ensure a comfortable fit that does justice to the effortlessly sophisticated black and pewter checkered finish.
