Here’s one that we’ve been secretly anticipating for awhile now, and it looks like it’s ready to order. You may have seen this rendition of the Slip-On from the recent Civilist Berlin collab, or perhaps you’ve heard of a brand named Fear Of God, who might have shed a much brighter light on this model, with their 4 colorways, but me being the Vans snob that I am, I have to give proper credit where credit is due, and that’s with Henry, aka Pillowheat, our gatekeeper to the vintage Vans, once Made In The USA, but now most pairs residing in the United Kingdom, lol, for actually having physical examples of this Style 147 shoe for all of us to see, and for this shoe to even exist today! We should be so lucky to have his archive around, so we can experience this retro era for Vans, where there is a heavy influence on their earlier years. Here’s what Vans has to say about these:
“The Anaheim Factory Slip-On 47 V DX pays tribute to our first Vans factory in Anaheim, California, by borrowing details from the original Classic Slip-On and offering modernized comfort with upgraded UltraCush sockliners. The Anaheim Factory Slip-On 47 V DX also includes throwback details, higher glossed foxing tape, original drill lining weight, and textile uppers with a hook-and-loop closure to complete the look.”
