The Slip-On that’s been Setting Trends Since 1979 Slip-on sneakers are designed for comfort and accessibility. Who knew they could be so undeniably stylish, too? Vans’ Classic Slip-On sneakers take the game to another level. The sleek navy finish takes center stage, allowing the supportive padded collars, elastic side accents, and rubber waffle outsoles to march under the radar. These navy Slip-On sneakers are the shoes you don't want to take off, as much for the style as the comfort. First introduced as Vans #98 in 1979, the Classic Slip-On shines bright in this navy finish.
