Vans is celebrating Checkerboard Day for the second year running: a global initiative that focuses on the power of creative expression from the iconic checkerboard print. This special edition focuses on the artistic escape from a reality engulfed by stress and anxiety. The skatewear brand thus promotes the essential role of creativity in maintaining well-being and mental balance in a cathartic context. Art is now the antidote.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Vans<\/p>\n

The experimentation of OG skaters in sneaker customization processes in the 70s, with square motifs that evoked the checkerboard effect, became an idea that Steve Van Doren<\/strong> would materialize in an eternal print. But also on a date to remember. November 19th<\/strong>, or Checkerboard Day, is already the day when Vans off the Wall<\/strong><\/a> blurs the boundaries between the artistic and the conceptual to encourage creativity and imagination in young people<\/strong>. That same day and the ones that surround it.<\/p>\n

POWER TO THE YOUTH<\/strong><\/h5>\n

This year of emotional chaos and anxiety, in which we dream in a loop of the arrival of a new mood, has fully infected our health and mental well-being. This is why VANS has decided to donate one million dollars<\/strong> to various charities<\/strong> that address this priority issue.<\/p>\n
