Vans designs and sells footwear and apparel for casual wear and for use in activities such as skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, and bicycle motocross (BMX). Its distribution network reaches about 50 countries, and Vans itself operates more than 160 stores in the US and Europe. The company's marketing strategy includes sponsoring alternative sporting (skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing) and entertainment events. In 2004 Vans was acquired by VF Corporation.

The 1982 movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High put Vans sneakers on the map, but lately the company has owed its popularity to the fashion sense and extreme sports enthusiasm of youth who weren't even born then.
