Red Vans Shoes
Red Vans shoes were one of the first original colors along with blue that came out with the authentic deck Vans shoes, and are now the most sold color of Vans. It was During the 1970's that the Vans shoes went through a major boom and due to famous skateboarders such as Andy Kessler and Frank Nasworthy, this helped the Vans to open it's range and the Original Red authentic were brought in to fashion and are still at a peek and have the highest demand in Vans shoes. As the originals were released the rubber sole have a vertical lines going opposite ways forming a diamond shape which separated the authentic Red Vans apart from the rest of them,
making them the most famous Van's ever released. Red Vans shoes, like most other things these days, began with the dream of one person. This person was Paul Van Doren, and with his dream of manufacturing shoes and selling them directly to the public. Paul Van Doren actually began to make sneakers when he worked in a factory on the east coast. He also teamed up with people who had experience in the business of making shoes. They were Jim Van Doren, Gordy Lee, and Serge D'Elia. Unfortunately none of them actually had any experience in retail. Despite that little setback they managed to open their first store in the year of 1966 on the 15 of March. That was the very first Red Vans Shoe store and it was located on 704 easts Broadway in Anaheim, California. At this point they only offered three styles of shoes. They were priced at $2.49, $4.49, and $4.99 but they were sold as display only shoes. The very first day that they were open they got 12 costumers. Since they didn't actually have that many shoes they asked the costumers to come back later in the afternoon and then rushed into their factory and made each of the selected shoes. There was one little problem. When each of the 12 costumers came to pay for their newly made shoes they needed change, and since nobody on their group had retail experience they didn't actually expect this, so they gave the costumers their shoes and asked them to come back later and pay. Luckily for them, all 12 of their costumers were good honest people who did indeed come back to pay for their shoes.
