Since 1966, Vans has captivated the youth with its canvas creations. The fascination began nearly five decades ago when the Van Doren family opened their first shoe store in Southern California and presented the public with an eclectic range of colors and prints to customise their footwear. These vivid prints infused a sense of personality into the shoes and created a true connection to early Vans enthusiasts. Over the years, many of these cherished prints have been discontinued leaving collectors and modern day sneakerheads in search of them.
