Van Shoes was founded in 1966 and has stood for authenticity in youth lifestyle, music and action sports since day one. 45 years on and Vans is now one of the leading footwear brands in the world.

Just arrived from Vans shoes are these killer Limited Addition Vans Authentic trainers, available in two colour combinations: Vans Authentic Black/Pink/Blue and Vans Authentic White/Blue/Pink. Inspired by the Parra limited Edition from July ‘09, we think so. Vans don’t usually repat colour ways too often so be snappy if you want a pair lining your wardrobe..
With Spring on the way it’s time to get yourself into some new season Vans, so we’ve lined up a collection of our favourites for you over at the Urban Excess store.
First up is the Zapato del Barco, a vintage old style boat/deck shoe made from canvas and given a rough edge for a worn look. The metal eyelets allow for the laces to slide easily around the shoe, making lace ups a breeze. Also features a padded insole for comfort and vulcanized sole.
This fall we are excited to bring you a cool new collaboration between Vans and Southern California car phenomenon, West Coast Customs. Featured on MTV’s “Pimp My Ride”, the premier custom shop is helmed by CEO Ryan Friedlinghaus, a life-long wearer of Vans who started custom work as a young teen tricking out skateboards and bikes before founding the world famous shop.
The West Coast Customs x Vans collection of hats and belts all feature killer West Coast Customs artwork and detailing, plus graffiti and tattoo inspired designs. Take a look..

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.
