Few sneakers have achieved the same iconic status as the Vans Slip-On. With its simple design and distinctive silhouette, the model has been a staple of skate and streetwear culture for decades. Now, it's back in the Vans Premium series with updated materials and three strong colorways at Packyard.
We have received the following models:
- LX Slip-On Reissue 98 Check Black / Off White
- LX Classic Slip-On 98 Checkerboard Pewter
- LX Classic Slip-On 98 Checkerboard Poppy / Ember Red
A classic since 1979
The Slip-On was introduced in the late 70s and quickly became a favorite among skaters thanks to its simple construction and vulcanized sole. Since then, the model has evolved into one of Vans' most recognizable designs – just as relevant today as when it was first launched.
The Premium series builds on the original with improved comfort, higher quality materials, and details that are closer to the original Archive models.
