Vans shoes have been a staple shoe in many skaters' and fashion enthusiasts' wardrobes since they were first introduced in 1966. While they’ve always been fashionable, the shoes have seen a recent resurgence in popularity over the last decade or so.
This is likely due to the fact that they are comfortable, stylish, and versatile; you can wear them with almost any outfit. Additionally, Vans are affordable compared to other designer brands, making them a popular shoe option across all ages.
While they're primarily skater shoes, you don't need to know how to rip it, in order to rock them. Vans, such as the Vans Authentic, go with just about anything. Their simple nature and design allow them to be dressed up or down for any occasion – although we wouldn't recommend wearing them to a formal event.
