About Vans

In 1966, brothers Paul Van Doren and Jim Van Doren with Gordon C. Lee opened the first Vans store under the name The Van Doren Rubber Company, at 704 East Broadway in Anaheim, California. The business manufactured shoes and sold them directly to the public. On that first morning, twelve customers purchased Vans #44 deck shoes, which are now known as "Authentic". In 1976, Vans released the Vans #95, now known as the Era, with a padded collar and different color combinations and becomes the shoe of choice for a generation of skateboarders. Also Vans’ “Off The Wall” logo makes its debut. The next year, Vans #36, the Old Skool, debuts with the now famous Vans Sidestripe. The Old Skool is Vans' first skate shoe that incorporated leather panels for increased durability. Now this shoe has become the unmistakable hallmark of the Vans brand. The Vans #98 is also introduced and with the help of skateboarders and BMX riders, Vans Classic Slip-Ons become an icon for generations. By the end of the 70s, Vans has 70 stores in California and sells both nationally and internationally. The Sk8-Hi was introduced in 1978 as "Style 38", now-iconic Vans Sidestripe on yet another innovative silhouette, a shoe which became skaters’ favorite.
