The company was founded on March 16, 1966 by two brothers in the name of James Van Doren and Paul Van Doren. Initially, they sold shoes to twelve customers and thought that their sales would end that day. Little did they know that the word spread and they already needed to make more.
In the 1970s, the company continuously flourished and already caught the attention of skateboarders. The company introduced the #95 shoe which was designed by Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta, two professional skateboarders. Right now, this design is known to be the Era. This became a famous shoe option to skateboarders because of its non-slip bottom that gives enough grips during stunts.
