Reimagined in shiny satin, Vans bring back the iconic slip-on style that captured the hearts of BMX riders and skaters back in the ‘70s.

Contrast stitching adds dimension, whilst a rubber logo signs off the design at the heel. Textile Upper, Rubber Sole, Vans. Vans LX Slip-On Reissue 98 Satin Jet Set.
