Vans is a sneaker based in Southern California. The brand primarily makes skateboarding shoes and other types of sneakers catering towards the extreme sports youth set.
History:
Vans was founded by Paul Van Doren. Van Doren, born in 1930, grew up in the Boston Area. At 14 he decided that school wasn’t really for him.
Paul decided he would take on the challenge of starting a new sneaker brand. He partnered with his brother Jim and long-time business associate Serge D’Elia. All three moved their families to Southern California and setup operation in Anaheim. It took almost a year to put together the self-reliant factory and on March 15, 1966 the Van Doren Rubber Company sneaker line began producing their unique shoes.
Vans shoes were originally made right in the store. The brand took custom orders and had them ready for pick-up within a few days. The original Vans were designed with a diamond tread but this proved to not be good for longevity so the brand added vertical lines in the tread to increase strength, friction and grip. The tread was then officially named the “waffle-sole.”
1995 marked the official end of Vans being manufactured in the U.S. The company now off shores their manufacturing to factories primarily in Asia.
Today:
The brand has seen tremendous resurgence in their popularity over the past few years due to the re-introduction of their much-loved slip-on sneaker model.
This November, Vans collaborates with Long Beach-based sneaker boutique Proper for three color ways of the Sk8-Hi. You’ll be kicking yourself if you shred heavy in these satin stunners, so keeping them box-fresh is the move. Available exclusively at the Proper store.
Van old schools
Vans works heavily in the surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, urban and punk markets. They also market additional items such as clothing and skateboarding accessories.
