History of the Vans Flame Slip-On
The Old Skool silhouette, known before as the Style 36, was originally launched in 1977. It is a skate shoe with a low-top profile that was the Vans Anaheim 26 for increased durability. It was a coveted model by both skaters and BMX champions like Julian Stranger and Dakota Roche respectively. Later, Vans experimented and went ahead to incorporate the checkerboard pattern to the iconic silhouette.
Aside from the checkerboard pattern, the Old Skool was also used in different collaborative works. Some of the celebrities, retailers, companies, and boutiques that partnered with Vans to create different amazing iterations include A Tribe Called Quest, Vincent Van Gogh, Nonnative, mastermind Japan, Air Jam, WTAPS, Simple Union, and Marvel.
One of the recent versions of the iconic silhouette is the Vans Flame Slip-On. It maintains its classic arcad-up design that provides a flexible and comfortable fit. With a slimmed-down profile, it has a sturdy suede upper which sits atop a flexible and vulcanized outsole, providing unfailing stability and superior grip.
It is available in beautiful colorways including Violet/True White, Darkest Spruce/True White, Fallen Rock/Blanc de Blanc, Leather Brown/True White/ Scooter/True White, Porcini/Blanc de Blanc. The colorway called Fallen Rock looks grey while the Scooter is in a red palette.
