Vans Classic Slip-On Platform

Vans Checkerboard - the chessboard plays first fiddle! Models like Slip-On, Old Skool, Sk8-Hi and other well-known silhouettes are presented in the iconic checkerboard pattern. This design has its roots in the late 1970s when Steve Van Doren, son of brand founder Paul, observed skaters creatively painting the white soles of their Slip-On shoes with black marker to create the popular checkered pattern. The Checkerboard collection draws inspiration from 20th century skate pop culture and became legendary after the 1982 premiere of the movie ""Golden Times at Ridgemont High"" where the main character played by Sean Penn wore these very boots. Plus, with their clever two-tone design, they're easy to mix and match with a variety of outfits, so find your pair here at Queens!

The Vans Slip-On models have become an icon among Vans footwear. Their canvas construction offers the highest level of flexibility, breathability and comfort, making them the perfect choice for everyday wear. At Queens, we have Vans Slip-On models in a variety of colors, in both men's and women's versions.

Wear style with the Vans Slip-On

The Vans Slip-On low top shoes are great for both women and men and are suitable for many activities. They're ideal not only for skateboarding, but also for casual everyday wear thanks to the fact that you don't have to tie them up lengthily.

Popular colourways include the traditional checkerboard, classic all-weather black and casual white. However, the final choice of colour is up to you - you have a wide choice. Don't forget to choose the material too; you'll find models in both canvas and leather at Queens.
