Vans

The Vans brand was created in 1966 in California. At the time, Vans was called the Van Doren Rubber Company, after its founder. The brand’s first official model is the Vans #44. It is the shoe for skaters par excellence. Over the years, Vans has reached a wider and wider audience, particularly with its Slip-on model, created in the 1980s and inspired by hospital shoes, which are known to be very comfortable. Since then, the brand has come a long way...

The Vans shoe: a timeless all-rounder

The days when Vans shoes were just for underground skateboarders are long gone. Today, the iconic checkered trainer can be found absolutely everywhere. Vans shoes have become popular with riders of all kinds. This was the first step the brand too, but it certainly was not the last, since they have taken over the world. Whether you are a board sports fan or not, anyone can wear any of the brand's models: Sk8, Old Skool, Authentic ou Era... Low or high, fabric or leather, coloured or black and white, plain or multi-coloured... The Vans shoe adapts to all desires and is suitable for every occasion. Vans has also collaborated with some of the biggest names. Vans x MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art in LA); Vans x National Geographic; Vans x The Simpsons; Vans x Vivienne Westwood... To name but a few. So many possibilities to rediscover with a timeless and absolute must-have in your wardrobe!

A wider target: riders and Vans

Vans shoes have won the hearts of riders; it's no secret that they are worn a lot by powder lovers. But to aim even higher, Vans has also worked on its range of products for the snow. Vans shoes have been redesigned to offer their customers a super warm version. With quality materials, a very warm lining and technologies such as Gore Tex or Vibram soles, Vans shoes have been able to adapt to the needs of their customers to offer unique specificities. And the brand takes it to the next level with their snowboard boots.

Vans snowboard boots: a comfortable boot with style

The Vans snowboard boots are high performing, while perfectly combining the iconic style of the Californian brand. Vans boots are without a doubt the fastest to adjust. The V2 Liner adapts very quickly to the shape of the foot for comfort straight out of the box. The support of the malleolus and Achilles tendon is very tight thanks to the X-shaped reinforcement. Vans offers many models of men's snowboard boots as well as women's snowboard boots. Find the pair of snowboard boots for you at Snowleader!

Vans does clothing too!

We know Vans for its shoes, that's for sure. But Vans is also a clothing brand. As with their iconic trainer models, their clothing line is instantly recognisable. The loose-fitted cut is a legacy of skate culture. But also, the chequered pattern that the American brand has made its own is also featured. From T-shirts and sweatshirts to warm parkas and colourful fleeces, Vans creates clothing for men and women that is often unisex, stylish and timeless.
