Vance’s wave logo has the following five types.

1. Old Skool

Old Skool, formerly known as Style #38, was born in 1978 as the first pair of shoes with streamlined stripes on the sides. The stripes regarded as classics by many sports enthusiasts today were casually drawn by founder Paul Van Doren.

So classics are created inadvertently. If you have nothing to do, write and draw more, just in case the next amazing work comes from you. Whether it is classic canvas or suede and other materials, the classic shoe style in black and white is always the first choice for many junior Vans fans, and it is also one of the shoe styles most commonly worn by many celebrities.

2. Authentic

Vans’ first pair of shoes is the Authentic series, inspired by the round-toe Oxford sneakers of the 1860s. Named "Style #44" by the founder and partner ***. At that time, this pair of shoes was only produced in navy blue and became a sensational "Internet celebrity" shoe that year.

In the 1970s, this pair of shoes won the favor of many skateboarders due to its high-quality production technology of double-layer thick canvas uppers and pure rubber waffle soles, and gradually spread to the shoe cabinets of all young friends. .

The classic checkerboard pattern is also based on this pair of shoes.

3. Era

This series is the "upgraded version" of Authentic. It was born in 1976 and was formerly named Style #95. What many people can’t tell apart most is the Authentic series.

In the future, based on this, the double-line line of the Authentic shoe body will be changed to a single-line design. The Era series will choose to add a sponge insole at the shoe mouth to replace the original thin shoe body. But overall it is lighter and simpler than the Old Skool shoe, and since then it has further promoted the distance between Vans and skateboarders.

Since then, more changes in color matching and commemorative significance have been presented on this basis, and it has become a popular choice for many people.

4. Sk8-Hi

Everyone has heard this name a lot, but the origin of this name is a bit silly. SK8 (eight) comes from the homophony of "skate"... Isn't it quite cold?

Born in 1978, the high-top shoes are also equipped with sponge inserts and have their own iconic logo on the body. They are versatile and can be worn with any style.

5. Slip-on

It is also a series with a high appearance rate.

Born in 1977, the traditional shoelace design is replaced by rubber bands on both sides of the shoe, making the upper simpler and more convenient and comfortable to put on and take off. This pair of "shoes without laces" became a must-have style for fashionistas that year. Since there is no need to tie shoelaces, it has earned the title of "lazy shoe".
