There are some sneakers that we can call classics without any hesitation. Among them are many 'well-deserved' models from the biggest manufacturers, whose timeless look has stood the test of time. One of such iconic silhouettes is the simple to the point of pain in its construction , the slip-on Vans Slip-On , whose history, under a different name, began in 1977.
Teniși VANS Comfycush Old VN0A7Q99KAQ1 Sale Space Drizzle | The Story Behind the Vans Slip-On
As we mentioned, it all started years ago in sunny California, where in 1977 another spartan shoe model from the American brand Vans saw the light of day – Style #98 . In the blink of an eye, the simplicity of Slip-Ons gained popularity among the dynamically developing skateboarding scene. Behind their success are, among other things, solid waffle soles – synonymous with the Vans brand, which bravely face while skating, providing an incredible board feel, grip and durability. Vans gained huge respect in the developing world of skateboarding already in 1976, when together with Stacey Peralta and Tony Alva they developed the very well-received Vans #95 - now commonly known as Vans Era , which to this day are one of the classics of the brand. It is no wonder that the newly released Slip-On was equally warmly received. Initially, the Slip-On looked a bit different than it does today, relying more on a boat shoe-style silhouette, but soon adopted a more similar construction to the aforementioned Era, utilizing its more skate-friendly heel counter and padded collar.
The iconic 'Checkerboard' pattern, or how the world-famous checkerboard was created.

Steve decided to expand on this idea and in the near future they themselves began creating Slip-On Vans with a checkerboard pattern on the canvas upper of the shoes. One of the turning points in the history of Vans was a proposal from a representative of Universal Pictures, who asked then-Vans PR manager - Betty Mitchell to send a few dozen pairs of Vans to the set of the latest film production. It was called 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High' and was the first important film about teenagers in the 80s. It is said that Sean Penn , who starred in the film, chose the iconic checkerboard print himself, and his character, Jeff Spicoli, in the film, which gained huge popularity, wore the iconic black and white flat sneakers with great passion. What's more, the shoes were such an important part of the film that the checkerboard Vans Slip-On slip-ons even made it onto the cover of the soundtrack album for the film. After the broadcast, the popularity of Vans products soared to a previously unknown scale, and the brand became recognizable all over the world almost overnight, creating a new pop culture icon.
