Paul Van Doren, co-founder of Vans, passed away at the age of 90 today.

The Van Doren Rubber Company was born out of Paul’s innovative approach to footwear. Vans would not be where it is today without Paul’s work, his craft, and his loving spirit. What started as a family business grew into a footwear giant and staple within the sneaker community at large thanks to Paul’s dedication.

Condolences to the Van Doren and the Vans family for their loss.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!
