If you had to boil down the entire Vans imprint to one sneaker, one can argue that it doesn’t really get any more classic than the Checkerboard Slip-On. The easy-on-easy-off shoe has become globally recognized for its versatility to be effectively worn both in the streets and on the half pipes. For this next installment, the California-located skate company is highlighting an early moment in the brand’s history from 1982, the very year that Sean Penn played the character of Jeff Spicoli in the film Fast Times at Ridgemont High. In the throwback teen drama, Spicoli is shown busting out a pair of classic black/white Slip-Ons which then resulted in a boost of popularity for not only the sneakers, but the entire Vans entity as a whole.

In an effort to honor this impact, the kicks are releasing this time with “Fast Times” branding logos repeating along its foxing. In addition, constructional upgrades are present due to the fact that these will be released under Vans Anaheim Factory Collection, meaning the uppers will be engineered with a heavier canvas as well as the footbeds being swapped for their modernized UltraCush.

I'd advise you to wear Vans every day or short active walks. For running, sneakers with cushioning would be better. Everyone wants sneakers for the gym to look stylish, but in this case, the technical side of the matter is much more important. Strength classes of group programs will suit shoes with good stabilization and high protective properties for work in the gym. I found good sneakers at forstepstyle.com.
Remember that any athletic shoe loses its cushioning over time. And it's not about how old the sneakers are but about the number of miles you run: the more you run, the lower the level of cushioning.
