The Classic Slip-On 'Canvas' released in March 2015, showcases a striking black and Off-White checker print. It is adorned with elastic side accents, the iconic Vans flag label, and an authentic Vans waffle outsole. This design pays homage to the checkerboard colorway, which originated in the late 1970s when Steve Van Doren, inspired by skaters, began coloring checkerboard patterns onto their white rubber midsoles using black pens.
