There aren’t many sneakers that have withstood the test of time without losing their charm. Vans Slip-Ons are one of those elite few. Celebrating their 47th anniversary this year, these iconic shoes, first launched in 1977, are making a strong comeback. They’re popping up on the feet of fashionistas and celebrities everywhere, especially in their signature black and white checkerboard pattern.
Remember those high school days? Vans Slip-Ons were a must-have, especially during the peak of the tecktonik and emo movements. Even in the 2010s, these sneakers were loved during the Indie Sleaze aesthetic phase. Now, as we navigate our thirties, they’re calling out to us again. Fashion, as always, has a way of coming full circle.
The Vans Slip Ons: You Can’t Go Wrong With This Timeless Sneaker
It’s no wonder Vans Slip-Ons have reclaimed their spot on the fashion radar. Their minimalist design, infused with a ’90s vibe, makes them incredibly versatile. You can pair them with almost any outfit. Plus, they offer undeniable comfort and are super easy to slip on. That’s exactly what we need for the summer, right?
Originally popularized by Californian skateboarders, these shoes are now ready to become our go-to summer footwear. They’re more stylish than espadrilles, more practical than flip-flops, and way more original than the same old sneakers you see everywhere. Wear them in the city, at the beach, with jorts, baggy jeans, dress pants, or even a swimsuit. The choices are endless.
One of the best things about Vans Slip-Ons is that they won’t break the bank. Unlike most sneakers that have skyrocketed in price, a pair of Vans Slip-Ons will set you back between 60 and 70 euros. In a world where most sneakers are over 100 euros, that’s a pretty sweet deal.
They’re comfortable, versatile, and above all, a nostalgic nod to our rebellious adolescence. So, dig out those old memories and step into the trend with these timeless sneakers!
