Vans LX Slip-On Reissue 98 – Black / White: The Iconic 1979 Heritage Skate Shoe

The Vans LX Slip-On Reissue 98 Black / White restores a silhouette that defined skateboarding long before it hit the mainstream. Originally released in 1979 as Style 98, it became the uniform for SoCal riders. Its laceless, effortless design remains a symbol of rebellion and youth culture—perfect for those who prefer heritage over hype.

Faithful Reissue of the Original Style 98
This premium model recreates the vintage proportions with a shorter forefoot and a higher glossy sidewall. Built with 226g heavy-duty canvas, it offers the resilience needed for the streets while maintaining a clean aesthetic for your urban everyday life.

Heritage Design meets Modern Comfort
While the look is pure retro, the interior features the Sola Foam All-Day Comfort (ADC) insole with 30% bio-based materials. This anti-fatigue technology ensures you stay on your feet from the skate spot to the after-party. The vulcanized outsole with original Osnaburg reinforcement provides the classic board feel Vans is famous for.
