It’s hard to imagine that throughout the 1970s and 1980s, this same company would go on to create a slew of sneakers that remain among the most iconic silhouettes of all time. Over 60 years later, the brand now simply known as Vans has become one of the most popular sneaker manufacturers in the world.
