Founded in 1966 by Paul Van Doren, Vans is an American Footwear and Apparel company. They initially gained popularity for a durable and stylish skate shoe, favored by skateboarders and BMX riders in the 1970s and beyond. In the following decades, Vans became a household name and expanded its product line to include clothing and accessories, as well as shoes for a variety of activities, including BMX.

In the 1980s, Vans closely associated themselves with the BMX scene. They started sponsoring riders and events, releasing special-edition BMX shoes and clothing. Today, Vans continues to support the BMX community and is widely recognized as a leader in the world of action sports.
