The original extreme sports brand of VF Group was born in Southern California in 1966. As the originator of the skateboarding industry, Vans is recognized and sought after by extreme sports enthusiasts and trendy people from all over the world, such as skateboarding, surfing, BMX, skiing, etc., and has become a unique symbol of youth culture. Vans children's models have classic styles such as ERA, AUTHENTIC, SK8-HI, SLIP-ON, Old Skool, etc., and the domestic price is about 90-500 yuan. In addition to these classic collections, Vans has collaborated with a number of brands, including The Simpsons, Disney and many more. The Simpsons x Vans Vault collaboration in 2007 sold out within 90 minutes of its release. The 2013 collaboration with Disney was a replica of the collaboration between the two sides in the 80s, and it was a dream for many shoe collectors to get a pair of such collaborations.
In 2017, Vans launched a series of co-branded collaborations with PEANUTS, the company that created Snoopy, including shoes, hats, clothing and other 17 products. With its classic AUTHENTIC, SK8-HI, SLIP-ON and other shoes, Vans carries the image of Snoopy and his friends, and shows childlike fun in a variety of styles of colors and materials. All the shoes in the collection are available for kids and middle children, and the two high-tops also have a heel zipper and velcro fastener for easy on.
In terms of shoe shape, the Vans are generally wider than the Converse, and it is easier for Orientals with wider feet to adapt to the wearing feeling. But Vans has some skateboard shoes with heel protection that can grind your feet during everyday walking.
