Off the Wall
Since 1966, Vans has been βoff the wall,β inspiring generations of kids, teens, and adults to live free and wild. The company began in Anaheim, California, as the passion project of brothers Paul Van Doren and Jim Van Doren (alongside partners Serge Delia and Gordon Lee). That first day, a total of 12 people came in to buy shoes, which were all handcrafted on demand.
Naturally, the company has expanded significantly since then, breaking into the skateboard shoe avenue in the early β70s. Skaters like Stacy Peralta and Tony Alva became the first to sport the Vans #95 (today known as the Vans Era), helping the brand to gain national recognition. Further releases during that time included the Vans Old Skool, Vans Classic Slip-Ons, and Sk8-Hi, all of which are still popular today.
More Than Style
Vans is more than just a brand β itβs a lifestyle. Wear these shoes, T-shirts, and other accessories to show that youβre not just another person in the crowd. These shoes scream unique style, especially when you pair them together. For a low-key look, try the Vans Classic T-Shirt with a pair of Vans Authentic. For even more flair, add a pair of Vans Buffalo Fleece Pants to complete the look.
Whatever you choose, with the kidsβ Vans lineup on your side, you can stay skater strong and street-tough whether youβre at the skate park or sitting in a classroom.
