BLOG 3 - NARRATION ESSAY

THE LEGEND OF STREET WEAR


            When we talk about the sneakers in those young men’s dream, one of their lists would have a Vans ranking 1 in 5 of their favorite sneakers. Vans is so popular overtime with its own unique style, durable for any situations and affordable price offered could be that all reason liking them. Also the story behind the Vans is as interesting as its popularity.


            Firstly, Vans was born in 1966 from a man named Paul Van Doren who had strongly intention to invent the shoes in his own ways. Based on the experience over 20 years, he has previously worked in a shoe factory. Vans has created the first factory in California that was the beginning of a legendary of “Street Wear” shoes throughout the world.



            At that time, vans were still less popular. Until the early 70’s, skateboard was the famous sport among teenagers. It was very popular everywhere in America at that time. Also Tony Alva, Stacy Peratta, famous skaters and their lackeys were hunting for great shoes to playing board. And they lastly found the Vans which become so popular ever since and widespread to all street fashion around the world.


            Accidentally, the phrase "Off the Wall" was pleasant to the ear of Steve Vans Doren who totally took over the business. Then he took this sentence as a good chance by putting it on the shoes’ heels. So, that’s the origin of the word "Vans Off the Wall", famous phrase that was remembered in our sense.



            Therefore, the simple reason to choose Vans you don’t have to think a lot that is because it was chic and cool from time to time and never out-of-date. With the excellent materials and classic designs but very good looking, Vans were suddenly known in shoes market. And eventually, they were quickly spread worldwide. Vans are divided into several different versions to accommodate various lifestyles of people in modern time whether it is the Era, Chukka, and Old Skool, which are thrived and sold well until now.
