When I was in fourth grade, the boy I liked had the coolest shoes ever. They were Vans – the checkerboard slip-on kind. That was almost 30 years ago.
And…those classic Vans Checkerboard Slip-ons are still around. Still cool.

I saw these on Nigel Barker’s son though – and I LOVED them! (I also love Nigel Barker, but that’s a story for another day…) They’re Vans Old Skool V.


$35 at Vans.com. Cool but classic.
I saw my Vans-wearing fourth grade crush’s name on Facebook last week. Wonder if he’s still cute…
