In case you've been hibernating for the last three decades, the Vans Classic Slip-On Shoe is arguably the most iconic piece of footwear to ever emerge from contemporary skate/surf culture. Featuring a minimal low-profile design, elastic side accents and the upper pattern of your choice (checker is easily the most popular), the Classic is likely to still be around long after your skating days, so you may as well get some miles on 'em now.
