If you grew up skateboarding, you likely grew up with Vans. In fact, the sport and the shoe have been closely related since the very beginning, shortly after the Van Doren brothers got their footwear company off the ground in the late 1960s, praised for its rugged design and sticky sole.
Whether you wore Vans styles when they were brand new or have grown to appreciate their retro coolness within the last several decades, the appeal of the Vans brand is undeniable. In an effort to appeal to the more sophisticated and “grown up” Vans wearer, the company has released the new Vans Velvet Slip-On.
Those of us who are looking for a touch of elegance will not be disappointed. These luxurious but cool sneakers feature sturdy low profile velvet uppers, padded collar, elastic side accents, and signature rubber waffle outsoles. Incredibly comfortable and perfect for virtually any occasion, the Vans Velvet Slip-On is available in black, green, and oxblood.
