Vans shoes, or the Van Doren Rubber Company, was established by Steve Van Doren in 1966 in Southern California where his rubber-bottomed deck shoes quickly grew in popularity. Here we cover the rise and fall and rise again of the brand and their amazing history. Adopted by surfers, and later skateboarders like Tony Alva and Peralta, Vans shoes like the Authentic, Era, and Slip-On quickly became staples of the growing skateboard industry.
Along the way, Vans partned with the US air force, appeared on the big screen, have been worn by celebrities, filed for bankruptcy and more!

Here is a fact for Supreme, I used to camp out at Supreme at Soho NYC. All the workers are actual skater, Supreme actually hates non skaters. A lot of people said that Supreme does not hire you, if you don't skate. And the workers have first dibs on any item, which I respect. In addition, James Jebbia hates seeing his items being resold for thousands.

Another great fact about Vans is their Triple Crown Series. Whether seeing Slam City Jam to Contests held across America (Skateboarding, Surfing, BMX, Ect.) With quick interviews of professionals in them. Then at the end of the year the winner with the most wins in the series tallied up the most points could win anything such as a fully loaded pick up truck. That was a prime time.
