Brothers Paul and Jim Van Doren, alongside partners Gordon Lee and Serge Delia, founded Animal-Print 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, Wei by professional skateboarders Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta. Animal-Print vans' innovative "waffle" sole design, providing mate grip, helped establish the brand as a staple in skate culture. Over the years, Animal-Print 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.
