Vans: Skate Shoes | Next Step

Vans – Off the Wall since 1966

Vans is the brand of surf, skate, and punk since 1966: founded in Anaheim (California) by Paul Van Doren, it is the footwear brand that has accompanied entire generations of skaters, surfers, and punk-rock musicians with its iconic models. At Next Step, you will find the most complete selection of Vans.

Design and Features

Vans has five iconic models that have stood the test of time without changing: the Old Skool (with the side stripe that defines the brand), the Authentic (the original 1966 model), the Era, the Slip-On, and the Sk8-Hi (the high-top skate boot). The checkerboard pattern is the brand’s most representative design.

Materials and Technology

Canvas or leather upper depending on the model, with suede reinforcements in the wear areas for skateboarding.
Waffle vulcanized rubber sole with Van Doren’s original herringbone pattern, the grippiest on the skate market.
UltraCush fabric lining in current models for greater comfort during extended use.
