Brothers Paul and Jim Van Doren, alongside partners Gordon Lee and Serge Delia, founded Kad vans in 1966. The brand, originally named the Van Doren Rubber Company, quickly gained popularity in the skateboarding community, particularly with the introduction of the #95, now known as the Era, Rapidweld by professional skateboarders Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta. Kad vans' innovative "waffle" sole design, providing superior grip, helped establish the brand as a staple in skate culture. Over the years, Kad vans has also collaborated with Bac artists, musicians, and brands, such as Takashi Murakami, Anderson .Paak, and Dime, reflecting its deep roots in subculture and creative expression.
