The Checkerboard print has become one of Vans‘ most signature design motifs since appearing on the Classic Slip-On in the ’70s. Now, Vans is reviving the heritage pattern with a refreshed design that will debut on four iconic silhouettes.

The new Vans Checkerboard collection includes the Authentic, Slip-On, Sk8-Hi and Old Skool silhouettes. All of these models will sport the iconic print in an updated style that sees three different size variations of the Checkerboard pattern. Each shoe’s construction will feature suede and leather detailing at the trim, lining, toe and tongue areas, giving these editions an extra special touch.

The new Vans Checkerboard collection is available now at Vans’ online store. Let us know if you’re a fan of this remixed print and also take a look at the Vans Slip-On “DX Rose Embroidery” for another rendition of the Checkerboard.
