For decades, Vans has established itself as a must-have brand in the world of skateboarding, alternative culture, and streetwear. At Wathe.fr , we offer an exclusive selection of new Vans shoes , perfect for those who want to adopt a style that is timeless, urban, and authentic.

Founded in 1966 in Anaheim, California , by Paul Van Doren and three partners, Vans was born with the simple idea of ​​selling shoes directly from the manufacturer to the consumer. On its very first day, the Van Doren Rubber Company sold 12 pairs of sneakers: customers chose a model and the shoe was made within a day.

By the 1970s, Vans had become closely associated with the emerging skateboarding scene. Its flagship model, the Vans Era , co-created by legendary skaters Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta , featured a durable rubber sole and a low-top design perfect for skateboarding. The brand's trademark Waffle outsole provides exceptional grip, making Vans a natural choice for skateboarders worldwide.

The brand's popularity then exploded in cinema thanks to the cult film "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" (1982), where actor Sean Penn wore the iconic Vans Slip-On Checkerboard . From then on, Vans went from being a niche brand to a true global pop icon.

Today, Vans is synonymous with timeless classics like the Old Skool , Sk8-Hi , Authentic , and Slip-On . Each model embodies the free, creative, and rebellious Californian spirit that has always been at the heart of the brand's identity.

But Vans hasn't just rested on its laurels. The brand has reinvented itself through prestigious and avant-garde collaborations . Notable collaborations include partnerships with Supreme , Fear of God , The North Face , Disney , Kenzo , and Vivienne Westwood . These projects have allowed Vans to reach new audiences while solidifying its roots in skate and fashion culture.
