Vans - LX Slip-on Re-issue 98

Born in Southern California and adopted by skaters, artists, and style purists around the world, the Vans Style 98—better known as the Checkerboard Classic Slip-On—has become an icon of effortless design and individuality.

What started in the early ’80s as a DIY trend—locals drawing black squares on their white Vans—turned into one of the most recognizable patterns in fashion. From Sean Penn in Fast Times at Ridgemont High to punk stages and city streets, the Checkerboard Slip-On embodies a laid-back sense of rebellion and timeless cool.

In this refined edition, the original DNA returns with upgraded materials and subtle premium details—proof that true classics don’t age, they evolve.
