Hockey X Vans Slip-On Snakeskin
Culture Note™️
Origin
The Vans Slip-On, a cornerstone of skate culture, first emerged in 1979, designed specifically for the demands of skateboarding. This iteration, a collaborative effort with Hockey Skateboards, represents a fusion of heritage and contemporary design. The genesis of this partnership, established in 2018, aimed to inject a rebellious spirit into the modern skateboarding landscape.
Utility
Engineered for skateboarding, the Skate Slip-On prioritizes both impact protection and board feel. PopCush™ energy return footbeds provide superior cushioning and custom energy return, mitigating leg fatigue during extended skate sessions. The SickStick™ gum rubber compound outsole, Vans' most grippy sole, delivers exceptional grip and durability, enhanced by the classic Vans waffle pattern, ensuring optimal performance on various surfaces.
Influence
The cultural impact of the Vans Slip-On is undeniable, transcending its original purpose to become a global icon. The collaboration with Hockey Skateboards amplifies this status, introducing a fresh aesthetic to the skateboarding scene. The collaboration brought in Andrew Allen's signature on the inside of the collar, adding a personal touch. The custom box, designed by Andrew Allen, paying homage to his dog Ronnie, underscores the personal connection. This variant, with its snakeskin print and Hockey branding, embodies a bold statement, solidifying its place in the lineage of influential skate footwear.
Construction
This Skate Slip-On boasts a vulcanized construction, featuring reconstructed uppers for enhanced performance. The design incorporates a molded heel counter and internal tongue straps, ensuring a secure, locked-in fit crucial for board control. DURACAP™ reinforced materials are strategically placed in high-wear zones, paired with a deeper knurl texture on the toe bumpers and higher sidewall heights, all contributing to superior durability.
