From Skate To Pop Culture Icon

Originally designed for skateboarding in 1979, the Slip-On’s grippy waffle outsole and lace-free upper represented a progressive approach to a straightforward style. But what started as a skate cult classic quickly became an international bestseller when Jeff Spicoli stumbled out of his smoke-filled van wearing a pair of Checkerboard Slip-Ons. The rest, as they say, is history.
