Even with today’s marketing savvy and continually compounding internet technology, no brand out there can claim the same kind of street cred as Vans.

A reimagined version of the silo that showed up behind bars in the 1970s and ’80s, the Vans Classic Slip-On White Checkerboard must have been lifting weights or something because it looks quite handsome in a mix of an uneven textile and Off the Wall’s favorite suede.
