Vans
Vans shoes
exist since 1966, when Paul
Van Doren and three partners
opened heir first Vans
shoe store on March
16th in Anaheim, California.
Back then,
Vans were
still handmade and directly
sold to the people. With the
emergence of skateboarding in
the early 1970s, Vans
Shoes were becoming
more popular. With the first
signature skate shoe ever in
1975, Vans
also became the first skate
shoe company ever.
The mid-90ies mark the start of Vans BMX. At that time Vans supported the BMX scene not only with a separate BMX team, but also with a contest series, the legendary Vans Triple Crown. Today, Vans Shoes even offer a separate BMX collection. Each Vans BMX signature shoe has been extensively tested by their team riders. So if you want to flow like Chase Hawk, ride Dirt like Ryan Guettler or rock abnormal tricks like Scotty Cranmer, you got to choose Vans Shoes.
