Vans Slip-On Release Dates
The definition of chill, the Vans Slip-On casually landed on shelves all the way back in 1979. Though the shoe was designed for skateboarding, it would be three years later when the sneaker made its Hollywood debut in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, cementing the sneaker as the ultimate “cool” guy shoe.
What is the Vans Slip-On?
Taking a novel approach to minimalism, the Vans Slip-On has a cotton canvas upper and a vulcanized rubber sole. Much like other Vans models, the sneakers feature the red Vans logo stamped on the back heel. Where this sneaker lacks in design elements, it makes up for in versatility. The Vans Slip-On is the definition of “less is more.”
Where can I buy the Vans Slip-On?
The Vans website and physical stores are primary sources for securing a pair of Vans Slip-Ons, but we recommend supporting local skate shops, who will also have more unique pairs than the typical general releases. Large retailers like Zumiez and Journeys also carry the sneakers as well as smaller boutiques like Sneaker Politics and Extra Butter.
What colorways does the Vans Slip-On come in?
Of all the colorways to grace the Vans Slip-On, the most iconic is the black and white checkerboard. The pattern has been a signature of the shoe for decades and can be seen today in a full spectrum of combinations. The sneaker is also known for coming in monotone colors that elevate any outfit.
How does the Vans Slip-On fit?
Vans Slip-Ons run true-to-size, however, they do have a flat insole and outsole. We recommend inserts for anyone that doesn't have a flat foot for these sneakers.
Does the Vans Slip-On restock?
General Release pairs of the Vans Slip-Ons restock often. You can find them replenished on the racks of Vans stores and their website as well as large retailers that carry the brand like Journeys. Rarer pairs do not restock much, if ever. For these harder to find pairs, we suggest checking the Sole Retriever app for updates on how, where, and when to cop.
What Vans Slip-On collabs are there?
It can't be understated how great of a canvas for creative vision that Vans sneakers are and the Vans Slip-On is no exception. From collabs with fashion heavyweights like Fear of God and Supreme, to artists like Takashi Murakami and Mattias Gollin, the sneakers are consistently remixed by the best of the best.
