Vans® LX reissue 98 premium slip-on sneakers

Doren opened the Van Doren Rubber Company in Anaheim, California. The shop made and sold shoes directly to its customers, becoming popular with skateboarders who preferred their tough-but-lightweight construction and extra-grip soles. By the '70s, the brand name was shortened to Vans and became synonymous with laid-back Southern California style. This classic canvas style has been a global icon since its introduction in 1979; the latest version is upgraded with a higher sidewall, a Sola Foam ADC insole and enhanced cushioning for all-day comfort.
