Founded in 1966 as the Van Doren Rubber Company, Vans emerged as a significant brand thanks to the collaborative efforts of Paul Van Doren and Jim Van Doren. Within a short span of time, they introduced the acclaimed Vans Authentic sneaker, initially known as the #44 Deck Shoe. This timeless shoe boasts a woven canvas upper, metal eyelets, a cushioned footbed, and a vulcanized rubber outsole. With its predominantly white upper, this rendition exudes a clean and minimalistic aesthetic, subtly accentuated only by a single Vans label.
