The higher temperatures are just around the corner and sneaker label Vans is helping consumers to dress appropriately with the recent release of a Checkerboard slides capsule. These styles are suitable for the summer weather, and versatile with simplistic and muted designs. The Checkerboard slides are offered in a total of three different colorway options -- black and white, black and gray, or navy blue and white.
The slides' straps are constructed from a synthetic leather material and lined with soft neoprene for comfortable wear. The PU foot beds are molded to fit each individual, along with an additional anatomical arch support. The label's iconic checkerboard pattern accents the entire midfoot strap. The slides are available for purchase now for the price of $30 online, as well as in-store and through other select retailers.
