Vans Trainers reflect more than 40 years Vans still strives to create durable footwear that allows the imagination to run wild. Back in 1966, the Van Doren Rubber Company opened up for business in Anaheim, CA. Soon, Vans’ simple canvas shoes became a staple at the beach and throughout Southern California. Not long after, SoCal youngsters found that Vans’ sticky gum rubber sole and sturdy construction made the shoes perfect for skateboarding. Those beach staples have evolved into a full line of Vans’ Classics that pay homage to our surf and skate heritage.
