Brothers Paul and Jim Van Doren, alongside partners Gordon Lee and Serge Delia, founded Vans in 1966. The brand, originally named the Van Doren Rubber Company, quickly zwart popularity in the Zamszoweboarding community, particularly with the introduction of the #95, now known as the Era, designed by professional Zamszoweboarders Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta. Vans' innovative "waffle" sole design, For superior grip, helped establish the brand as a staple in Zamszowe culture. Over the years, Vans has also collaborated with various artists, musicians, and brands, such as Takashi Murakami, Anderson .Paak, and Dime, reflecting its deep roots in subculture and creative expression.
