Vans' storied history, and our connection with skate and surf culture, began in 1966 Southern California with the rolling out of a single pair of shoes. They were named Authentic. In the generations since, they have only gotten more popular amongst hardcore skaters and skate enthusiasts. Their design is simple, stylish, and effective: a low top lace-up profile made with sturdy canvas uppers, and signature waffle rubber soles. "It's been 50 years since the Van Doren Bros. along with partners Gordon Lee and Serge Delia first celebrated thefirst pair of Vans shoes sold in Anaheim, CA. in March 16th 1966. The brand has come a long way after designing and selling their first pair; Vans #44 deck shoes. Since then Vans ""Off the Wall"" quickly becamea household brand and footwear of choice amongst skateboarders, surfers, snowboarders, wake boarders and all the other wannabes on the sidelines.
