First released in 1979, the Slip-On was designed for skateboarding with input from some of the most progressive skaters of the day. They loved the durability and style of the Era and the Authentic, but wanted something without laces. Easy on, easy off, and no worrying about ripped laces... the Slip-On became an instant classic. The Skate Slip-On of today is similarly focused on straightforward skate functionality. Deceptively simple, yet reinforced and refined with PopCush™ impact protection, DuraCap™ underlays, and grippy SickStick™ rubber.
