With each brand their own special day, Anaheim’s Vans is almost readied to kick off theirs, revealing a full pack of Slip-Ons that allowed creatives and athletes alike to imagine their own take on the heritage pattern. Auctioned off in only a few days and ending right on Checkerboard Day itself, the pack is full of vibrant pairs whose proceeds are already spoken for by the Imagination Foundation, a non-profit whose sole mission is to promote creativity and entrepreneurship. Also set to receive a large lump sum of $1,000,000 USD from the brand’s global sales, the pack is icing on the cake with Christian Hosoi, Geoff McFetridge, Brighton Zeuner, Steve Van Doren himself, and a few others at the helm of both footwear and accompanying backpacks. Some cover the grid pattern entirely in circular hits of pastels while few adding sprawling mosaics of constellations, extremely detailed insects, or acid-induced visuals. Grab a peek at what will be available for bidding down below and find each listing open on eBay.com come November 11th with their end date set for November 21st.
