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.

At Amateur Athlete Skate Shop, we offer an incredible selection of Vans products, from the classic Vans shoes like the Vans Old Skool, Slip Ons, Half Cab and Vans Sk8 Hi to T-shirts and hoodies from this renowned apparel company. Vans has been a leading name in skate footwear for decades, and its shoes are built to last.

The Legacy of Vans Shoes

The enduring legacy of Vans isn't just rooted in its inception but also in the way it seamlessly wove itself into popular culture. The brand's authentic connection with the skateboarding community was amplified when rock bands, artists, and even film stars embraced its distinctive style. The checkerboard pattern, once a hallmark of rebel teens, has now found itself at the feet of many fashion enthusiasts and celebrities alike.
