A Revamp of Old Classics
So what makes the Vans Off the Blank collection so unique? It’s a revamp of four classic kids’ Vans sneakers: the Old Skool, Classic Slip-On, Era, and SK8-Hi. These styles have been modernized for a younger generation looking to express themselves. Now, your kid can express their voice with ease.
All of the shoes in the collection feature a mix of suede, canvas, or mixed leather uppers. While these generally come in white or checkerboard patterns, the rest of the shoe kicks it up a notch. Your kid can pick from vibrant hues or more checkerboards for a look that’s all their own, whether they’re having a dance party with friends, walking through the halls of school, or taking their first ride on a skateboard.
To Skate or Not to Skate
Yes, Vans shoes started as skate shoes. But not only skaters can enjoy the timeless style. Today, kids’ Vans Off the ___ stand as an enduring symbol of streetwear and personal expression. For example, take the Vans Sk8-Hi. It’s a high-top shoe with reinforced toecaps to protect your kid from scuffs on skateboards (or toe smashes when running down the hall). Plus, the padded ankle collar adds a little extra comfort for tiny feet still finding their footing.
If a high top isn’t their preferred style, they might like a lower shoe like the Vans Old Skool. It comes with more midsole cushioning for all-day comfort. There’s also a rubber outsole to help them maintain traction in slippery situations. All in all, it’s a great shoe for pairing with jeans or a set of tapered joggers.
Of course, if you can’t find what you’re looking for in the Vans Off the Blank collection, don’t forget to shop for other Vans shoes. Kids’ Vans color block shoes offer good options for the kid who wants something less flashy, while kids’ Vans plaid shoes up the game with a mix of colorful prints.
