Vans – From Skate Shoes to a Global Icon

Founded in California in 1966, Vans has evolved from a small skate label into a global icon of streetwear and action sports. The legendary waffle sole quickly became a favourite among the skate and surf communities, and models like the Sk8-Hi, Authentic, and Slip-On are now among the most recognisable shoe designs worldwide. With a blend of authenticity, innovation, and creative freedom, Vans continues to influence skate and streetwear culture today.

• Duracap™ Reinforcements strengthen vital areas for increased durability;
• SickStick™ Rubber enhances grip and abrasion resistance;
