Offers Vans
Vans is a company of American origin that began as a small shoe store to later become one of the best known multinationals in the textile and footwear sector . Among its products we can find its famous sneakers, t-shirts, sweatshirts, pants, caps, backpacks, sunglasses ... in short, a whole range of options with which you can enjoy the sporty style as well as the unique casual style that this brand has.
It was founded in 1966 in California by Paul Van Doren and some partners. They opened an artisan shoe store, a somewhat different concept for the time since people bought the shoes that manufacturers made hours before. First day of opening of the store: They sell 12 pairs of sneakers. The first style they created is known as "The Authentic" which consists of a rubber sole with a white trim and shoes of the same color in which the seams can be seen very precisely, giving a unique style to the footwear.
That first day was very important to Vans. They opened the store in very unprofessional conditions since they did not have everything assembled, nor stock of shoes, not even change to return the money left over from the purchase. Certainly insane. But despite this situation, the store went ahead and its fame began to spread throughout the city.
The expansion of the company was so rapid that there was a period when the company opened a new store every week. Yes, what you read. From Monday to Sunday, Paul, his brother who entered the business some time later, and the other partners, were in charge of looking for premises, renting them, furnishing them, hiring staff and the following Monday, the store was already 100% operational and open to the public. .
If they already had good results, when the skateboarder boom hit , that was incredible. In the 70s, this sport also began to expand and be considered a way of life by many teenagers. This group of people found in Vans shoes a tool for their sport since their flexible soles allowed them to do the footwork they needed for movements with the boards. The next sport that joined in demanding Vans was BMX.
Currently, their most famous product line continues to be sneakers, although within the company they sell many more products. Inside the shoes they have different collections that they have been creating over the years and that with the wide variety of colors and fabrics that you can find in them, make the possibilities of shoes enormous.
- Authentic: As we have mentioned previously, they are the first style with which they commercialized and the ones in charge of starting the operation of the company. They are very comfortable and are characterized by having nothing else apart from the color or pattern of the fabric. They have laces and a small label on the side that reflects the brand's name.
- Old Skool: They have the same shape as the previous ones, but with the characteristic of having a normally leather strip on their sides.
- Slip-on : This style of sneakers that is characterized by not having laces, became super famous for the movie "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" since the protagonist of the filmography, wore one of that style of the Vans brand, which catapulted to the highest design.
- Sk8-Hi : These shoes have a more different style than the previous ones because their most striking feature is that the part of the ankle is high until it covers it.
