Lightly worn around, can remove first from/clean the tread if that’s a deal breaker. From Vans: Completely redesigned for modern skateboarding, the Skate Classics collection delivers more of what skateboarders need to enable maximum progression. Made with classic suede and canvas uppers, the Skate Slip-On gives you the iconic look you want while bringing all the performance benefits skateboarders demand. INCREASED DURABILITY - DURACAP™ reinforced materials, deeper knurl texture on the toe bumpers, and higher sidewall heights provide a more heritage look with increased durability and protection. FULLY REDESIGNED UPPERS - Reconstructed with a molded heel counter and internal tongue straps for a locked-in fit and more board control. LEGENDARY GRIP - Our proprietary SickStick™ gum rubber compound is our stickiest rubber yet. POPCUSH CUSHIONING - Our best cushioning and impact protection. PopCush™ energy return footbeds protect your feet while helping to lessen leg fatigue for longer skate sessions. ICONIC STYLING - A mix of suede, 6 oz canvas, and 10 oz canvas has been used at the upper, maintaining the aesthetic of the original Classic Slip-On.
