Two corrections for full disclosure: 2:03 That’s Jay Adams, not Stacy Peralta. 4:35 In 1988 Vans was sold to McCown De Leeuw & Co and then later to the VF Corporation. Thanks for all the support and feedback! What brand do you want us to talk about next?

Geoff Rowley did a lot for Vans when it comes to core skateboarding consumers. During the 90's Vans wanted to go away from their classic look and focus on more techincal design,since that was the norm during that era. But it simply didn't fit for them. But the good part was that they had Geoff Rowley on their team,who at the time was one of the best skateboarders in the world. He did insane tricks in his videoparts,lots of skateboarders looked up to him...and Geoff always did his tricks in the classic Vans shoes. He promoted that look in his video parts and it also helped that he was in tony hawk pro skater video games. Nobody at that time did more for Vans skateboarding than he did. I can't think of a better shoe costumer than a skateboarder. Basketball player,football player might have the same pair of shoes for half a season. Skateboarders on other hand need new shoes non stop. Is a cosutmer that keeps coming back over and over again.
