Since 1966 Vans has immersed itself in almost every part of American culture with its well-known shoes. And Vans representatives took some time out of their busy schedules Thursday night to tell Orange Coast College all about it.Things you may not know about Vans:
1. Vans is a family own company founded by Paul Van Doren.
2. Was originally called the Van Doren Rubber Company.
3. The original price for the men's shoe was $4.49 and the women's was $2.29.
4. 1975 is when Vans started making shoes for skateboarders.
5. The checkered slip-ons first became popular when they were featured in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. That led to Van Doren's having to sell nationally as opposed to just in California.
Representatives from almost every department in the Vans company came to talk to OCC about their job and how to get into the action sport industry. Even the founder's children work for the company and offered words of wisdom on topics ranging from resumes to work ethic. They had a lot of information to give out, as well as a bag of goodies from the company.
