It was in the 1970’s when skateboarders started wearing Vans slip ons. Each of them were asked about their favorite color combination. And so in the year 1976, the blue and red combo was made. But as years passed by, other different combination came out. Colors that may seem outrageous for some but still that is what Vans is all about.
The Checkerboard Slip Ons was inspired by checkers in colors that pop, Vans signature logo and of course the waffle soles that never go out of fashion. It was in 1979 when they were officially released and Southern California fell absolutely inlove with it. They come in different colorways but the classic black and white is absolutely ethic.
