The shoe has been tightly identified with Vans ever since Sean Penn wore the companyâs classic black-and-white slip-ons in the 1982 movie âFast Times at Ridgemont High.â. Anticipating a fight, Skechers beat Vans into court. The company filed suit last March in Federal District Court in Los Angeles, seeking a ruling that its shoe does not infringe the Vans trademark on the pattern. Skechers submitted evidence that a dozen other manufacturers had used the checkerboard pattern.
