Vans Slip-Ons. Who hasn’t owned (and battered) several pairs at any given time? They’re timeless, and they’re simple. And periodically, Vans’ product team iterates to give them some added function. That’s the plan behind the new Vans Trek Slip-Ons, a rinsable alternative to sandals and shoes.
I see it this way: We shouldn’t have to pack our cars and trucks with rinse buckets, gallon water jugs, dry mats, or mobile hose units for a surf. They’re all pretty inconvenient accessories when all we really want is to throw some quarters in the meter and get in and out of the water without bringing an entire beach back into the car (and eventually, home) with us. Such is life, though.
