The cult brand Vans "Off The Wall" makes the most popular skate shoe in the world. The first Vans store was opened in California by the Van Doren Rubber Company in 1966 - and soon, almost the entire skateboard scene was wearing Vans shoes. This was also due to the fact that the products were specifically designed for skateboarding and that the stars of the legendary Zephyr Skate Team contributed to the design. Solid skate shoes with their classic style and simple yet robust materials are ideal for everyday use.
