Born in Anaheim, California before Old Skool, Authentic, and Sk8 Hi changed the world as it was known, Vans started in September 1966 in a 37 sqm factory with 12 pairs of shoes.

Since then, Vans has been connecting with youth culture to promote creative self-expression, authenticity and individuality for over 50 years, proudly celebrating the brand’s deep heritage in action sports, art, music and street culture.
