Vans

Created in 1966 under the Van Doren Company, the Californian brand Vans is now one of the icons of urban fashion, offering a range of clothing and footwear with an assertive, 100% street style. Stemming from a genuine passion for board sports, founders Paul and James Van Doren came up with their first shoe model, the #44 - better known under the name of Vans Authentic, a simple yet effective product, designed to last. Incidentally, the first 12 pairs produced will be sold on the spot that very day!

The brand vans is a Californian brand that has made its mark on the shoe and fashion worlds since the 60s. The brand was founded by three designers with a passion for board sports, who turned the shoe into an emblem of cool and chill. The vans brand quickly became popular with Californian skateboarders. And with good reason: the vans designers came up with an elegant, comfortable shoe with a sober design and clean, clear lines. Vans became a symbol of a culture and a generation, particularly among teenagers after the release of the film ça chauffe au lycée Ridgemont, in which Sean Penn, who played the lead role, wore a pair of vans on his feet. The sports brand will become one of the most sought-after brands among young people. Mixed, vans can be worn by all genders, and are affordable to the greatest number. Over the years, vans have established themselves as essential footwear for contemporary women's dressing.
