“Checkerboard” is now one of Vans’ most iconic designs. In the 1980s, the well-known Hollywood youth blockbuster “open America” was a hit, and the black and white checkered Vans Slip-On worn by the leading actor Sean Pan was imitated by young people at that time, and the local brand of Vans in California was also known nationwide.
The checkerboard pattern with which Vans has such a deep bond naturally comes up regularly in the new collections each season. Coming into 2019, Vans introduced a new “Blur Check” line with checkerboard patterns, as well as today’s “Mix Checker”.
In fact, the “Mix Checker” series was first released early last year, when it debuted in black and white checkerboard, an evergreen color. Today, Vans is once again based On four classic sk8-hi, Old Skool, Authentic and slipon-on, with a checkered palette of stylish, festive and eye-catching red and white, offering more options to Vans enthusiasts.
The body of each pair retains the classic Vans look: the sk8-hi and Old Skool are covered in red suede, the front and rear sides are covered in canvas, and the white leather Sidestripe serves as a ‘watershed’ separating the mini from the larger version. The checker-board pattern of Authentic, slippered shoe body is presented in the form of front large back small, which is the origin of the name “Mix Checker”.
The rest of the details of the shoe body are very simple, with white embellishments on the stitching, LACES, and interior leather. Vans also comes with a white outsole for each pair, with red waterlines and a red-and-white heel label to match the body.
The Vans “Mix Checker” spring 2019 series has been successively launched On the official website and stores of Vans. The price of sk8-hi is 65 USD, the price of Old Skool is 60 USD, and the price of Authentic and Slip On is 55 USD
