Vans shoes have been around since 1966, when the Van Doren Rubber Company first set up shop selling them in Anaheim, California. Due to its worn-in designs and sticky soles, it didn’t take long for skateboarders to fall in love with the brand. The term “House of Vans” was coined and the rest, as we say, is history. Today, Vans is one of the most popular shoe brands in the world for both women and men skaters, known for its stylish and comfortable sneakers and skate team.

The checkerboard pattern, once a hallmark of rebel teens, has now found itself at the feet of many fashion enthusiasts and celebrities alike.
