Vans
Paul Van Doren opened the first Vans store in 1966, offering vulcanized skateboarding shoes which attracted a generation to follow. Since then, the sport of skateboarding and the wearability of Vans have gone hand-in-hand when it comes to the essence of skate culture. What first started as a true cult following in the '90s subversive punk era, has now turned into a worldwide phenomenon in sneakers and apparel alike. Always staying true to their brand identity, Vans’ storied history can be seen and felt in all of their products. Whether they’re designing skate decks or creating functional socks, Vans still celebrates youth culture, and they’re still best known for their classic footwear styles like the Old Skool, Era, Slip-On, and Sk8-Hi.
