Vans Skate Classic Slip-On Review: 117 Months and Counting

Dripsy Editorial · 1 editorial review

The slip-on sits at the center of men's skate footwear, and Vans owns that position more than any other label. In this Vans Skate Classic Slip-On review, the hard number is the story: 25 independent boutiques have kept it in stock for 117 consecutive months since October 2016. Shops don't reorder dead inventory for a decade. Markdowns currently bring it to $40 from $65, but only sizes 7 and 7.5 are left.

Good: 117 months of continuous boutique demand · Marked down to $40 from $65 · Stocked across 25 independent shops

Trade-offs: Only sizes 7 and 7.5 available · Price varies widely across boutiques

A proven buy for size-7 skate fans chasing the markdown; everyone else is out of luck.
