Our top 10 favorite items from the Vans skate collection

In the 1950s, skateboarding emerged from surf culture. The four-wheeled object was developed by surfers who wanted to dry-surf. The surfers added skate wheels under a wooden board and brought their surfing skills to the pavements.

Slowly but surely, a subculture of skaters began to emerge. Because of the rugged upper and Vulc outsole, Vans shoes became especially popular among skateboarders and BMX-ers. Because of this, the brand got more and more name recognition, and the sneakers were spotted all over California.

The brand became increasingly involved in the skate community and later added a skateboard to its logo. Vans sponsored various skate and BMX events and opened its own skate park in 1998. On the Vans website you can find the complete skate collection.
