Classic Slip on Canvas Sneaker

Story

Throwback slip-ons that pay tribute to the Vans No. 98

Debuting in 1979, Vans’ No. 98 slip-on silhouette gained icon status in the BMX world, championed by motocross legends Greg Hill and Bob Haro for its game-changing waffle outsole that delivered unparalleled grip on the tracks. In honor of this rich history, Vans’ Classic Slip-On Canvas Sneaker pairs key details from the ‘79 original with upgraded features like supportive padded collars, elastic side accents, and fresh new colorways. The result is a vintage-inspired slip-on shoe with a modernized ride, dialed-in fit, and one helluva backstory.

About Vans

Vans got its start in 1966 in a small Anaheim, CA, factory attached to its first retail store. In that one-stop shop they dreamed up new models, figured out how to build them, and chatted with regulars about where to go next. If you’ve ever sworn by a pair of Vans, you know how the story went from there. From their origins as the first true skate shoe for 1960s pool-trespassing skaters to Spicoli donning checkered Vans in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, they’ve grown into a staple—a quintessential canvas, vulcanized sneaker. To give you the full picture, we stocked our shop with a mix of their newest technical, outdoor footwear, and classics based on those originals they made out of Anaheim in the ‘60s and early ‘70s.
