If you’ve been in skateboarding for a while, this pair from Vans should immediately jog some fond memories of a bygone era and a skater gone too soon. Taking the classic Slip-On and splitting it down the middle, the new take on a Vans icon feels like it takes inspiration from Dylan Reider’s Gravis pro model from the mid-2010s, a dressy skate shoe that helped restructure skate style for nearly a decade to come.

Slip Into a New Style

The Vans OTW Slip-On Shadow Vibram Pack features three debut colorways: Checkerboard, Black, and Marshmallow white. All three pairs feature a split panel with seams running down the center of the shoe and smooth panels flowing across the sides to the heel. The two center seams turn into a “V” shape at the tongue, with a stabilizing panel running vertically down the heel.

On the Marshmallow pair, a monochrome white coat covers the soft leather upper, the tongue underneath, and the midsole. The black pair features a monochrome suede upper, but switches to white on the midsole, with more black on the foxing stripe. Finally, the Checkerboard pair features a classic Vans look with black and white canvas squares covering the entire upper. On all three pairs, a Vibram outsole adds durability and extra grip.
