It was on March 1966 when Steve Van Doren manufactured the first Vans shoes in a small locally owned store in Anaheim, California known then as the Van Doren Rubber Company. They sold 12 pairs on the same day, in what is now known as the Authentics.
From then on out, time and time again, Vans has proven that it is not only here to stay but remains as a force to be reckoned with.
From Cali to MNL, below are the new drops from Vans at 120 PEREA….
VANS ERA WINGTIP CA (cement/marshmallow canvas/suede)
Vans #95 now known as the Era, designed by Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta mashed-up with wingtips from the Rat Pack. Classic.
VANS ZAPATO DEL BARCO CA (black nubuck)
Vans’ interpretation of the boat shoe has been killing it….cause it works all the time. Enough said.
VANS HALF CAB PRO (Black/ Supertuff Suede)
The Vans Half Cab was Steve Caballero’s second signature shoe from Vans in 1991. After he’d see skaters cut his first signature shoe in half to make it a mid top sneaker instead, he decided to try it out, pitched it to Vans, leading to the Vans Style 33, or the Half Cab. The Caballero patch was replaced with the words Half Cab and a picture of Steve performing the half cab. A piece of history in one iconic shoe, eh.
VANS x STUSSY Bailie (vintage brown leather/orange)
Laid-back, casual vintage and simplified. For the ladies.
