A sneaker brand founded in 1966 by Paul Van Doren, Jim Van Doren, Gordon Lee, and Serge Delia.The brand name VANS conveys the meaning of “Van and his friends.” It is an essential brand that has continued to be loved not only in the skate scene but throughout all kinds of street culture.
In 1982, the SLIP-ON drew attention around the world when Sean Penn wore the checkerboard pattern in “Fast Time At Ridgemont High,”making it a model that marked a turning point in VANS's growth. This attention-grabbing event led the “checkerboard pattern” to become one of the patterns synonymous with VANS.
Since its introduction in 1979, it gained support from skaters and BMX riders and became hugely popular, particularly in Southern California. Its comfortable style makes it easy to put on and take off, and various colors and updated models have been released each season. It remains popular with many users today. This basic signature colorway is a highly versatile pair that can be worn with any style.
