Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard Vans sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the initial fit snug due to the slip-on construction.

Can I use these for professional skateboarding?

Yes, these are part of the 'Skate' line, which features reinforced materials and technical construction designed for skate performance.

Are these limited edition?

As a collaboration piece released in Fall 2021, these reflect a specific design partnership and are manufactured in limited quantities compared to mainline models.

How do I clean the rubber midsole?

Use a rubber eraser or a magic sponge for stubborn scuffs on the white portions of the sole.

Does this model include laces?

No, this is a slip-on model and does not feature eyelets or laces.

Troubleshooting

Heel slippage while walking

The shoe may need to be broken in; try wearing slightly thicker socks for the first few sessions to fill the volume until the heel counter conforms to your foot.

Canvas becoming dusty or dirty

Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris and a damp cloth with a tiny amount of detergent for spot cleaning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic, versatile black checkerboard aesthetic
  • Easy-on, easy-off convenience

  • Iconic collaboration design

Cons

  • No laces means less adjustability for fit
  • May require a break-in period for maximum comfort
  • Limited availability due to collaboration status

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Vans maintain their appearance and structure, store them in a cool, dry place when not in use. Since these shoes use a slip-on design, there is no setup required; however, you may want to use a shoe horn during the first few wears to protect the heel counter while the material relaxes. For cleaning, wipe the canvas and rubber surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes, as this can degrade the adhesives used in the construction of the sole.
