For decades, Vans has been one of the most well-known brands in the skate, streetwear, and alternative scenes. What originally began in 1966 in California as a small skate brand quickly grew into a major player far beyond the skatepark. Today, Vans are not only at home on halfpipes and streets, but also at festivals, in clubs, and on countless concert stages, especially in metalcore and hardcore.
Hardly any other brand is as closely connected to punk, metal, and DIY culture. Whether classic Old Skool models, Sk8-Hi, Authentic, or Slip-Ons: many of them have achieved cult status and are as natural a part of a fan's outfit as their favorite band shirt.
In our range, you will find a large selection of Vans shoes, shirts, hoodies, and accessories for everyday life, sports, concerts, and festivals. From timeless classics to limited collaborations, there is the perfect model for almost every style.
As early as the late 70s and 80s, Vans became much more than just skate shoes. Punk and hardcore bands adopted the brand's straightforward style and made it an integral part of the scene. To this day, Vans are just as much a part of everyday life for countless musicians as guitars or tour buses.
The legendary Vans Warped Tour also played a major role in this. Over many years, the festival developed into the most important stage for punk rock, pop punk, and much more. Bands like NOFX, Bad Religion, The Offspring, Sum 41, A Day To Remember, Parkway Drive, and Bring Me The Horizon took the stage there and shaped a generation.
Even away from the Warped Tour, Vans remain closely connected to the music scene today. Artists have relied on the brand's classic look for years—also because of their high level of comfort on tour and in the studio!
Vans have realized countless collaborations with bands in recent years: time and again, limited collections were created that captured the style of individual artists or entire scenes. Collabs with Metallica, Iron Maiden, Blink-182, or Suicidal Tendencies are particularly well-known. Many of these models are highly sought-after collector's items today.
Alongside band collaborations, Vans regularly work with artists, skateboarders, and creatives. As a result, new designs are constantly being created without the classic models losing their recognition value.
Are you wondering which model best suits your personal style? The various cult models differ not only visually but also in their fit and intended use.
Vans Old Skool - the versatile classic: The Old Skool is one of the brand's most famous models. Its characteristic feature is the iconic side stripe, which has made the shoe unmistakable for decades. If you are looking for a sneaker that can be styled equally well with jeans, shorts, or cargo pants, you can't go wrong with the Old Skool.
Vans Sk8-Hi - more support and classic skate look: The Sk8-Hi extends above the ankle, thus offering a bit more stability. Especially in the hardcore and punk scenes, this model has been one of the most popular Vans of all for many years and pairs perfectly with an alternative streetwear look.
Vans Authentic - simple and timeless: The Authentic was one of Vans' first models and still impresses today with its minimalist design. If you are looking for a lightweight sneaker without many extras, you will find the answer here.
Vans Slip-On - straightforward and comfortable: The Slip-On does away with laces. The classic checkerboard variations, in particular, have enjoyed cult status for many years. And we all feel a little transported back to the emo era, don't we? It was never just a phase!
Depending on the model, our Vans shoes are made from robust canvas, suede, or a combination of different materials. The characteristic waffle sole ensures good grip and high comfort. Most models run true to size. While canvas versions might fit a bit tighter at first, they adapt comfortably to your foot over time. If you are between two sizes or prefer to wear your shoes a bit looser, you are often better off going with the larger size.
Shirts and hoodies are also available in different styles. Do you prefer a casual fit? Then go one size up. Most pieces have a unisex cut and therefore run a bit larger. Vans clothing is made from high-quality cotton and offers excellent comfort!
