Vans

Vans is the ultimate skater brand. Known globally for its skating shoe for over forty years, Vans has become way more than just a skateboarder shoe manufacturer, it is the leading force in the skateboarder lifestyle movement. Started in 1966, Vans was simple a sneakers manufacturer back then, but its laid back, California beach, skater designs soon became popular and the brand quickly grew. Today the Van brand has hundreds of stores nationwide, and is sold internationally as well. It is the number one recognized brand in skateboarding equipment, and a known sponsor of the Warped Tour and many skateboarding events, as well as other x-treme games competitions. They are also one of the leading manufacturers of snowboarding shoes, skateboarding shoes and equipment and men’s, women’s and kids’ sportswear. With Van shoes come not only comfort and style, but also the spirit of the original skateboarding lifestyle that they were a part of creating. 40 years after their creation, Vans are more popular than ever, and they adjust to the new times while keeping all of their designs classic and true to their background.
