When brothers Paul and Jim Van Doren opened their Van Doren Rubber Company back in the 1960s, they never imagined the influence their company would come to have over skate culture and everyday style. While manufacturing shoes on-site for their loyal customers, the company quickly made a name for itself in Southern California by creating a look perfect for the areaβs laidback attitude.
During the 1970s the company came out with its signature model β theΒ Vans Era. Designed by Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta, this shoe became the go-to choiceΒ for a generation of skateboarders and debuted the classic Vansβ βOff The Wallβ logo.
