About Vans

Vans: The Global Authority in Skate Heritage and Creative Self-Expression Founded in 1966 in Anaheim, California, and headquartered in Costa Mesa, Vans is the premier action-sports and lifestyle anchor for Tier-1 Regional Malls, Urban High-Streets, and prestige Lifestyle Centers. Entering 2026, the brand is in the midst of a high-profile "Reinvention" under Global Brand President Sun Choe (formerly of Lululemon), who is steering the brand back to its design-led, performance-skate roots while aggressively expanding into the premium streetwear sector. The 2026 retail model—defined by the "OTW by Vans" and "Vans Core" bifurcated strategy—focuses on "Channel Rationalization," closing over-saturated mall positions to prioritize high-heat, experiential flagships and "Community Hub" stores. For landlords, Vans remains an institutional-grade "Triple-A" credit tenant that drives a massive, loyal Gen Z and Millennial demographic, leveraging its status as a $3.5B+ global brand to anchor the contemporary youth-culture market.
