Vans

Vans is the original action sports footwear company rooted in authenticity and creativity. Founded in 1966, Vans has thrived on a legacy of impacting our greater community through the four pillars: action sports, music, art and street culture. The Vans brand has been connecting with youth culture for over 50 years, promoting creative self-expression and individuality, while celebrating deep heritage in skateboarding and street culture. With a dedicated commitment to our community, we believe in the importance of enabling and inspiring the next generation of creators. Our mission is to inspire and empower everyone who wants to live “Off The Wall”, embracing the youthful spirit of freedom and non-conformity.

At Vans, we are driven by five core values: Effortless Authenticity, Radical Creativity, Unconventional Community, Relentless Passion, and Playful Irreverence. By embracing these values, we foster a culture that champions creativity and encourages our employees to innovate and drive progress. We also prioritize learning and career development, offering courses on leadership and collaboration. Vans is proudly a part of the VF Corporation, which includes other iconic brands. Together, we aim to power sustainable lifestyles and promote active participation in the creative decisions that impact people and the planet.
