Description
In this illustrated guide, bestselling style writer Josh Sims explores the Vans phenomenon from the brand's overnight success, thanks to Sean Penn in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, to its status as a style staple worn by the diverse likes of Justin Bieber and Iron Maiden.
The shoes are beloved for their superior grip and endlessly customisable designs. And like skateboarding—an outsider sport gone global—it has ridden many ups and downs to become a cultural icon.
