You remember everybody wearing Vans because they came in so many styles slip-on, checkered, plaid, Van Halen look, etc Vans was founded in 1966 by Paul Van Doren out of Southern California and they were originally popular with the youth market - mainly skateboarders and surfers. I grew up in California and it seemed that back then if you did skateboard you had to own a pair of Vans just to fit in. The company had some financial problems in the late 80's as they tried to branch out into the sporting shoe world, but they have come back strong after filing for bankruptcy in 1984 they even went public in 1991. Vans slowly opened retail stores and indoor skate parks across the country which has really helped them become a dominant shoe manufacturer once again in this decade. Vans are huge within the rock, skate, punk, and emo scenes, and they have even started to make a mark in the hip hop world thanks to the group Reform Skool. Some of the popular sytles of Vans Shoes are: Vans Penuin Shoes, Vans Slip-Ons, Vans Checkerboard Shoes, and of course the Vans Plaid Classic Shoes.
