About Vans
Vans has been core since ’66—rider-owned, rider-driven, and in it for the long haul. From legends like Steve Caballero and Jeff Rowley to modern powerhouses like Zion Wright, Lizzie Armanto, and Arthur Longo, Vans has always backed the ones pushing skate, snow, and BMX from the inside out. They didn’t just show up when it got cool—they helped build the culture. Whether it’s Half Cabs at a DIY, Hi-Standards in waist-deep pow, or MTB shoes built to take a beating, Vans gear is made to ride and made to last.
