Founded in 1966 in Anaheim, California, Vans began as a small shop making shoes fresh each morning for its customers. What started as a simple idea quickly found its place on the streets, as skaters embraced Vans for its grip, durability, and laid-back style.

From those early days, Vans grew alongside skate, surf, and music culture, becoming more than just a shoe—it became a symbol of self-expression.

Decades later, the spirit remains the same: Off The Wall since ’66.

The future of our planet is shaped by the choices we make today. As a brand deeply connected to youth culture, Vans recognises its responsibility to help protect the environment and create a more sustainable future for generations to come.

While there is still progress to be made, the brand continues to take steps towards reducing its environmental impact, supporting communities, and building a better future for people and the planet. Find out more, here.
