Description: Check out these very rare antique Vans blue checkerboard slip on shoes! Women’s size 8 Men’s size 6 These are my mother’s shoes that she purchased around 1980/81 in Encinitas, Ca, when there were no Vans stores, just a few satellite shops in S California, outside of Anaheim. As kids in junior and high school, we all loved our Vans and were obsessed about them, so were our parents. My mother wore these shoes and enjoyed them. She washed them by hand and dried them in the sun, thus the fading of the center blue on one of the shoes. Personally, I think it adds to the charm and makes them more unique. She also took very good care of them. My mother has not worn her Vans since the 1990s and they have sat in her closet, until I fished them out recently. They feel great on and have beautiful arch supports that the Vans today don’t. All of the logos are worn off inside, but 47 is on the back, left inside heel. As expected with a pair of shoes over 40 years old, there is some color running and discoloration. I’ve tried to capture everything. Feel free to message me with any additional questions. Don’t miss your opportunity to own this rare, original piece of Vans history!
