Vans Sticks the Landing at Deckadence: Your Skateboard Shoe Plug
We’re stoked to announce the arrival of Vans at Deckadence Board Shoppe! This iconic brand, synonymous with skateboarding culture for over 50 years, joins our lineup of performance footwear, offering skaters of all levels the perfect blend of style and performance.
A Legacy Rooted in Skateboarding: Classic Vans
Vans’ story began in 1966 when the Van Doren brothers opened their first shoe store in Anaheim, California. Catering to the local skateboarding scene, they quickly realized the need for a durable and comfortable shoe that could withstand the demands of skateboarding. Thus, the legend of Vans was born.
As skateboarding evolved, so did Vans. The now-iconic Vans Era, introduced in 1978, offered improved padding and a lower profile, perfect for the emerging freestyle movement.
Shortly after, the Sk8-Hi, also known as “Style 38,” debuted in 1978, revolutionizing skateboarding by providing crucial ankle support for those pushing boundaries. This high-top design became a staple in skate parks worldwide. ([Link to Vans Sk8-Hi Skate Shoes on Deckadence Board Shoppe])
Vans Skate Classics: Redesigned for Modern Performance
Today, Vans continues to innovate with the Skate Classics collection. This line takes the iconic silhouettes you know and love, like the Old Skool, Sk8-Hi’s and Slip-On and upgrades them for modern skateboarding.
What sets the Vans Skate Classics apart?
