Inspired by Vans Classic Old Skool, the Ward is a low top, vulcanized lace up style with Vans signature side stripe, a round toe, padded collar for extra comfort, a smooth lining and a cushioning insole.
Brothers Paul Van Doren and Jim Van Doren as well as their partners Gordon Lee and Serge Delia open their business on March 16 on 704 E. Broadway in Anaheim, California.
Van Doren Rubber Company is unique when it manufactures shoes on site and sells directly to customers.
On this first morning, 12 customers buy shoes that are made the same day and ready to pick up in the afternoon.
The name House of Vans is first shown in the shop windows of the Anaheim store in the early 70s. The name is characterized by skateboarders who are first seen with the shoes at the time and who like the robust design and grippy sole of Vans.
