Vans Checkerboard - checkerboard in the main role! Slip-Ons, Old Skools, Sk8-Hi and other well known and proven silhouettes in a checkerboard design. The roots of using this design on Vans shoes is dated back to the end of 70s, when Steve Van Doren, son of the founder Paul, noticed that skaters drew the above-mentioned checkerboard design with black permanent pens on the white soles of Slip-Ons. As with many other models by Vans, the Checkerboard collection comes from the skate pop-culture of the last century. Checkerboards have definitely become legendary after 1982, hand in hand with the premiere of the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High, where they were worn by the main character portrayed by Sean Penn. Thanks to their smart dual coloring, they match any outfit more easily, so pick yours at Footshop!
47% Cotton: A very soft and pleasant material whose properties include tensile strength and elongation at break.
5% Elastane: used in combination with other materials, especially for its excellent flexibility - its fiber can stretch up to three times its normal length and then return to its original state.
10% Polyester: A synthetic fibre that is made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and is known for its durability, low wettability and ability to dry quickly. Due to these properties, it is often used as an additive in textiles, which improves their performance properties such as shape retention and wrinkle resistance.
38% Nylon: This synthetic polymer became the first commercially successful synthetic fibre made directly from coal, water and air. Nylon is characterised by its high strength, abrasion resistance and ability to dry quickly.
Van Doren Rubber Co. was established in 1966 by Paul Van Doren in Anaheim, California when he tried to mold soles on a classic waffle maker. For many people, it might have been a bizarre idea at that time but from today's perspective, it has led to one of the greatest milestones in the production of modern footwear. We at Footshop offer Vans apparel, sneakers and accessories for men, women, and children in many styles and colours.
