Vans are a popular shoe brand created in 1966 by Paul and Jim Van Doren in Aneheim, California. Originally sold as deck shoes for sailors, the idea was that one could customize their shoes to order, with whatever fabric or foxing color you wanted. The shoes became very popular in the Surf, and later Skate, communities and are today renowned as a Skate shoe company. The company has many popular designs, such as the Authentic (originally the #44), the slip-on, the Old-Skool, the Half-Cab, and the Sk8-hi. The shoes have remained popular since pretty much their conception, and are some of the nicest, most durable shoes out there. Vans are worn by pretty much anyone under the sun, but are especially popular in Skate, Ski/Snowboard, Surf, BMX , and Heavy Metal communities. The shoe has also become synonymous with Basics and Posers in recent times, and it is sad to see such capable shoes being used by people who will never use them to their full potential. The shoes were also slandered by a certain meme, which I won't mention, but I'm sure you know the name of. In conclusion, Vans are continually popular, and are extremely useful and good-looking, shoes.

1.)The only way I can stay on my CRAPPy SKATE BOARD because the DAMN GRAIN covers only HALF the fruity tooty deck because my DUMB ASS little cousin found sandpaper.
2.) Their slip ons made checkerboards overly worn and used
3.) If a tornado blows through your house make sure you're wearing these

A really cute teenage girl who is generally looked at as an adorable little sister. She is smart, pretty, funny, and an absolute doll. She usually is very nice to everyone, and it's very hard to cross her. She loves to read and play games. She is also innocent and sweet.
guy1: hey should I ask Van out?
guy2: no way bro, if you make her sad the world will hate you.
guy1: your right, I'll just love her as my sister.
