Taka Hayashi is to Vans what Raf Simons is to
It all began in 1978, when Paul Van Doren wanted to create a similar model to the iconic #36, known today as Vans Old Skool. His goal was to design a functional and high-top shoe that will suit all skateboarders and that will provide a whole new point of view. He succeeded and introduced a new model #38, known as Vans Sk8-Hi, which celebrates its 40th birthday this year! Of course he didn´t forget the legendary sidestripe. Celebrate with us and we´ll leave it to you to pick your style.
Suede: leather cut from the back, while the fibers remain on the surface, suede is less prone to damage than nubuck.
Wafer: The legendary sole that will never lose touch with the surface. It is especially typical for Vans sneakers.
Van Doren Rubber Co. was established in 1966 by Paul Van Doren in Anaheim, California when he tried to mold soles on a classic waffle maker. For many people, it might have been a bizarre idea at that time but from today's perspective, it has led to one of the greatest milestones in the production of modern footwear. We at Footshop offer Vans apparel, sneakers and accessories for men, women, and children in many styles and colours.
