Vans
Vans opened on 16 March 1966 in Anaheim, California, as the Van Doren Rubber Company. Brothers Paul and James Van Doren started it with partners Serge D'Elia and Gordon Lee. Its first customers bought deck shoes, the model now called the Authentic. The Era, first called Style 95, came out in 1976 as the label's first skate shoe. Vans made it with feedback from the skaters Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta. The Old Skool followed in 1977 as Style 36. It was the first Vans shoe with the side stripe, a doodle by Paul Van Doren nicknamed the jazz stripe. The checkerboard print came from skaters drawing it on their shoes. VF Corporation has owned Vans since 2004. In August 2025 Vans named SZA its first artistic director.
