The iconic Vans slip-on shoe has been a staple of skateboard culture for as long as the history of skateboarding itself. Featuring bold designs and colorful prints, the Vans line has been called exciting and youthfully exuberant, but rarely elegant or sophisticated. Well, just like the skateboarders who began wearing the shoe in droves during the 1980s, Vans has grown up over the years. Take, for example, the new Vans Quilted Slip-On Lite. A deep monochromatic black from top to sole, this shoe employs the beloved aesthetic of the original and playful Vans Classic Slip-On while remaining decidedly classy and understated.
The Vans Quilted Slip-On Lite is also designed for comfort and functionality, with a construction that increases flexibility and reduces weight. Its key features include quilted textile uppers, added heel cushioning, and UltraCush Lite sock-liners. You may still be a little skater at heart, but you’ve grown up with the times — now wear the Vans Quilted Slip-On Lite.
