Vans AUTHENTIC (Canvas) Sneakers for Unisex Kids

Vans, founded by brothers Paul and Jim Van Doren, along with partners Gordon Lee and Serge Delia, began its journey in Anaheim, California on March 16th. The unique aspect of the Van Doren Rubber Company was its ability to manufacture shoes on-site and sell them directly to the public. On that first day, 12 customers purchased shoes that were made and ready for pick-up by the afternoon.

The iconic "House of Vans" name emerged in the early 1970s, as skateboarders were seen sporting the brand's rugged build and sticky soles, showcased in the windows of the Anaheim location.

The Vans brand has built its identity around several key pillars:

ART: Street art has been a integral part of the Vans brand since its inception. From the iconic checkerboard pattern to fresh collaborations, the company draws inspiration from creative thinkers and doers.

MUSIC: Embracing and fueling creative expression through live music is at the forefront of Vans' "Off the Wall" spirit.

STREET CULTURE: As an original skate shoe company that evolved into a global streetwear icon, authentic street style has been central to Vans' identity.

ACTION SPORTS: Since its beginnings in 1966 California, skating, surfing, and counter-culture sports have been the foundation of the brand.

Regarding the product details, the key components are:

OUTSOLE: The outsole is the bottom part of the shoe that contacts the ground, typically made from SBR (sulfur butadiene rubber), traditional gum rubber, or other materials.

UPPER: The upper is the top part of the shoe, adhered to the foxing and outsole. Uppers are designed with considerations like flexibility, weight, durability, breathability, and fit.

SOCKLINER: The sockliner separates the sock from the midsole, providing support and cushioning to the foot.

The Vans Atwood Youth Sneakers in Black/White, available on AltSkate, feature the brand's signature rubber waffle outsole, vulcanized construction, and white rubber outsole with Vans branding.

Other Vans products like the Doheny, Filmore Decon, Asher, Ward, and Ward Hi offer variations in outsole, upper, closure type, and silhouette, catering to different consumer preferences.

Customer reviews across these Vans styles consistently reflect high satisfaction, with ratings ranging from 4.2 to 4.6 out of 5 stars.
