Calling all California<\/a> skaters, surfers and bikers: If you love Vans<\/a>, then you\u2019re going to want to listen up.<\/p>\n

Nothing screams California cool like a pair of Vans. The official slip-on shoe of surfers<\/a> and skaters has earned a place for itself in the history books when it comes to style trends. Founded in Anaheim in 1966, the sneaker and action sports brand is now headquartered in Costa Mesa. Vans owns various skateparks in Orange and Huntington Beach, and this month, the area is celebrating the company with a special event.<\/p>\n

On April 13 at 7:30 p.m., the Orange County Historical Society (OCHS) will give a presentation on the history of the iconic sneaker company at Trinity Episcopal Church (2400 North Canal Street, Orange). It will be led by Vans Brand Historian Catherine Acosta, who founded Vans\u2019 official archive in 2019. Vans lovers will also hear from VP of Promotions and Events Steve Van Doren, the son of Paul Van Doren, Van\u2019s co-founder.<\/p>\n
