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