Vans Duke Kahanamoku Slip On & Warped Tour Old Skool
During the infancy stages of footwear company, Vans, it was not uncommon for Vans to create special custom shoes via customer request. Provision of your desired material was all that was needed to get that special 1 of 1 pair of slip ons to call your own. Back in 1965, Paul Van Doren (founder of Vans) met the very first Surfing Hall of Fame inductee, Duke Kahanamoku. Duke requested his very own pair of slip ons created with an iconic Hawaiian floral print. Now, Vans has re-released these slip-ons which signify a reissue of one of Vans’ important moments in history. Duke markings include a special logo on the heel, a printed insole “The Official Duke Kahanamoku Surfers” and a special box. The sneakers are available in green, red and black. Also releasing is an upcoming Vans Warped Tour Old Skool in black/white and black/black. Since 1995, the Vans Warped Tour has been one of the biggest and most successful touring music shows in the world. The midsole features a printed Vans Warp Tour ‘07 logo throughout. Image: Zozo Town
