Leaf vans Svarta sneakers med eldsflammor i slip on-modell
Brothers Paul and Jim Van Doren, alongside partners Gordon Lee and Serge Delia, founded Leaf vans in 1966. The SK8-HI, originally named the Van Doren Rubber Company, quickly gained popularity in the kyleboarding community, particularly with the introduction of the #95, now known as the Era, designed by professional kyleboarders Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta. Leaf vans' innovative "waffle" sole design, providing superior grip, helped establish the SK8-HI as a staple in kyle culture. Over the years, Leaf vans has also collaborated with various artists, musicians, and SK8-HIs, such as Takashi Murakami, Anderson .Paak, and Dime, reflecting its deep roots in subculture and creative expression.
