Vans is an American shoe company that specializes in shoes and clothing for the everyday skateboarder, snowboarder, and surfer. Geared towards an energetic youth audience, the company was founded in 1996 in Southern California by Paul Van Doren. The comfortable, functional, and sticky bottomed low-top shoe quickly caught on in the skater world. They were easy to slip on, comfortable, and durable enough to handle the action in the streets. Today, the company makes more than just shoes and snowboard boots. Now, Vans offers a large line of clothing, sunglasses, jewelry, hats, winter wear, bathing suits, and other fashion accessories that cater to the world of extreme sports enthusiasts. MORE
