Vans Slip-On Reissue 98 Review: 29 Months of Sell-Through
Dripsy Editorial · 1 editorial review
The unisex slip-on market is crowded, but Vans owns a specific lane: skate-rooted and utilitarian. This Reissue 98 in Black White has held stock at nine independent boutiques since February 2024 — 29 months of continuous re-orders that speak to real sell-through. The two-tone colorway reads clean under wide-leg trousers or with cuffed denim. Currently marked down from $75, with pairs starting at $34.99.
Good: 29 months of proven boutique demand · Nine shops stocking builds size availability · Marked down well below original price
Trade-offs: No half sizes above 10.5 · Some boutiques price above $100
A strong buy if you want a proven, shop-tested slip-on — skip it if you crave bold color.

About this piece
The Vans Slip-On Reissue 98 LX in Black/White revives a classic design inspired by the 90s era. This iteration features an 8 oz. canvas upper with a checkerboard print and a modified shape, including a shorter vamp, lower ankle collar, higher heel collar, and a higher glossed sidewall and foxing tape reminiscent of 90s outsoles. The Sola Foam All-Day-Comfort insole is made with 30% bio-based materials. - Elastic side panels for easy on and off - Full-grain leather collar lining - Signature waffle outsole for grip
