Vans was born in 1966 in Anaheim, California, when Paul Van Doren, his brother Jim and some members opened the Van Doren Rubber Company: they produce the shoes on the back and sell them directly to the public in the shop front. The first model is what we know today as Authentic, an shoe in canvas with a thick and carved rubber sole bee nest, the famous waffle sun.

In the 1970s, California skateboarders discovered that sole keeps better on the board than any other. The mark listens to them: theWas with padded neck,Old Skool with the sideband (the Sidetripe, which was initially called "jazz stripe"), the slip-On laceless and the Sk8 -Hi high to protect your ankles. The slogan "Off The Wall," borrowed from the jargon of the skaters, becomes the philosophy of the brand. In the 1980s the slip-On chess wins Hollywood and success becomes world-wide. Today Vans is part of the VF Corporation Group; collections are on official website Vans.
