Low top Slip-On by Vans in a classic style with an allover checkerboard pattern. Fitted with elastic paneling at the sides and finished with waffle texture tread at the rubber outsole. In 1966, the Van Doren Rubber Company opened for business in Anaheim, CA. Since then, Vans has evolved beyond surf and skate sensibilities to draw influence from a Southern California culture that is as diverse as it is progressive.
