Vans introduced the Classic Slip-on in 1977. The shoe's origin actually came from a slip-on shoe produced by the company Paul Van Doren used to work for. The sneaker had a non-slip sole and was designed for use as a boat shoe. The shoe became popular in the skateboard and sneaker scene.

The sneakers come in three different colourways: purple, brown and white. The canvas upper of the slip-on model is covered with a print of black, shiny LPs. The vinyl records represent Wacko Maria's love of music. If you look closely, you can see that in the middle of the plates the famous checkerboard print can be seen. Vans has used this black and white checkerboard design a lot on their sneakers, including the Slip-on.

The upper also features white stitching and a white elastic band. The sole is classic white with a black rim. You can also see the Vans label on the side.

As mentioned before, Wacko Maria is known for their blouses. Therefore, for this drop, matching shirts have been designed in three colours: white, orange and blue. The unique LP print can also be seen on these, which are larger than on the sneakers.
