So nowadays I see people all over wearing slip on checkerboard @vans . But it wasn’t always that way. Back in the 80’s Vans wearers were few and far between and to wear them to school or business was just not done. Well yours truly was a trend setter 36 years ago. This is from a scholastic poster book that used my image without permission…ah the follies of youth. Vans the choice of free thinkers since my year of birth, 1966. #bmx #njbmx #vansoldskool #vansslipon @vans @vansbmx66
