Vans Checkerboard
Vans Checkerboard - starring a checkerboard! Slip-Ons, Old Skooly, Sk8-Hi and other well-known and time-tested silhouettes in a checkerboard design. The roots of the use of this pattern on Vans date back to the late 70s when Steve Van Doren, son of founder Paul, noticed skaters colouring the white soles of the Slip-Ons with black marker to create that aforementioned checkered design. As with many other Vans models, the Checkerboard collection is based on the skate pop culture of the last century. The Checkerboards definitely became legendary after 1982, hand in hand with the premiere of the movie Golden Times at Ridgemont High, where they were worn by the film's main character, played by Sean Penn. Their clever two-tone design also makes them much easier to match with your outfit, so pick yours up here at Footshop!
Vans ERA
The Vans Era is one of the other models that are considered skate legends (or that are very popular in the skate community). With the Vans Era shoes, the focus has once again been on simple design, comfort, and above all, quality that cannot be denied to any Vans model. The shoes have a canvas upper and a Vans waffle outsole.
Materials
Upper
Textile: The textile upper of the sneakers is lightweight, breathable and comfortable, ideal for everyday wear and sports. It ensures air circulation, keeps feet fresh and adapts to their shape. Often complemented with synthetic or rubber details for durability and support.
Midsole
Rubber: As a midsole, it is used when maximum stability and durability is a priority instead of soft cushioning. Unlike foam materials, rubber does not sag and retains its shape even under extreme loads. It is often found in minimalist footwear for natural contact with the terrain or in work boots where it protects the foot from sharp objects. It provides excellent response and durability, making it a reliable element for specific sports disciplines such as weightlifting or skate.
Sole
Wafer: A revolutionary type of sole characterised by its square grid pattern that resembles the texture of a waffle. This design was originally conceived to create a lightweight sole that would provide excellent traction on different types of surfaces without the need for heavy metal spikes. The protruding rubber lugs act as independent cushioning elements that absorb shock on impact and provide maximum grip on rebound. The waffle outsole is prized for its flexibility and light weight, making it an ideal choice for running shoes and stylish leisure footwear where stability and a sure stride are emphasized.
Van Doren Rubber Co. was founded in 1966 by Paul Van Doren in Anaheim, California. The brand’s unique journey began when Paul experimented with molding soles on a classic waffle maker—an unconventional idea at the time that has since become a cornerstone of modern footwear. At Footshop, we offer a wide range of Vans apparel, sneakers, and accessories for men, women, and children in a variety of styles and colors.
