Matt Varga We’d say “start spreading the news,” but the Knicks’ playoff success and now lead in the NBA Finals has been the story on every New Yorker’s lips for over six weeks. It’s something that’s prompted every brand, store, and establishment to pour out ode to the team, from the Nike “Always Knicks” campaign, to a city-wide executive order cancelling bedtime for any baby ‘Bockers backers.
Now, the California company is switching coasts if only for a brief period; Vans has unveiled a blue and orange Checkerboard Slip-On to get in on the frenzy. Outside of palette swapping their icon into the team’s primary shading, much of what this shoe brings to the table sticks to a script that’s won for them plenty in the past. Blue trim on the foxing, white anchoring in the collar and midsole, and the classic gum bottom round out this pair. If you’re in need of a new good luck charm or simply a go-with for your team-forward fits, it’s hard to go wrong here.
The Vans Checkerboard in blue and orange is available now via Vans.com and retail stores for $60 in adult sizing. Catch official images below and grab yours using our direct “Where To Buy” links.
