Vans Skate Slip On Checkerboard Black/Off White

Founded in 1966 when Paul Van Doren and partners opened their first store in Anaheim, California, Vans has been making footwear for skateboarders since the very beginning. The brand's iconic Waffle Sole, developed from a waffle iron in the Van Doren family kitchen, became the gold standard for grip and board feel, and has remained central to Vans footwear ever since. A cameo in the 1982 film Fast Times at Ridgemont High helped propel the brand into mainstream pop culture, cementing its place in the worlds of skating, surfing, music and art.

Today Vans is one of the most recognised footwear brands on the planet, with the Old Skool, Sk8-Hi, Authentic and Era among the most iconic silhouettes in skate and streetwear history. The Pro Skate range builds on those classic shapes with reinforced construction, UltraCush cushioning and Waffle Cup sole technology for skaters who demand more from their shoes. Beyond footwear, Vans continues to give back to skateboarding through events including Bowl-A-Rama, Go Skateboarding Day and the Vans Park Series, and through free public skateparks built for the communities that built the brand.
