Product Information

The Vans logo, featuring a shoe with wings, has become an enduring symbol of the brand’s rebellious and creative spirit. It represents the freedom to express oneself through fashion and serves as a reminder of Vans’ roots in skateboarding and street culture. As Vans has grown from a small skateboarding shoe company to a global brand, its logo has remained a constant presence in popular culture. The logo’s ability to adapt and remain relevant has contributed to Vans’ continued success. The story of Vans begins in 1966 when the Van Doren Rubber Company was founded by Paul Van Doren, James Van Doren, Gordon C. Lee, and Serge D’Elia. The company started in Anaheim, California, with a simple goal: to make durable and affordable shoes for skateboarders. In the Odyssey, Homer does indeed say that the sandals are golden and composed partly of ambrosia, but, as noted both by Wikipedia, and by William Smith's 1870 Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, "Homer no where says or suggests that they were provided with wings." It was later writers and also sculptors who portrayed them this way, whereas they originally were more ordinary, wingless footwear. eDIL, s.v. " énchendach". "bird-covering, feather mantle.. [but] in the following exx. the meaning seems transferred, wings, feathers; a winged thing.. rogab [Mercuir] a enceandaigh uime...┐ gabaid a luirg n-encheandaighi ina laim (i.e. the talaria and caduceus), Aen.[Imtheachta Aeniasa] 766–7 .. encennach Mercúir, cumma imthéit muir ┐ tír, LL 220 b26 = TTr.

The colorful logo serves as a visual representation of Vans’ commitment to uniqueness and originality.

What Next?

Also in the medieval Irish versions of the Aeneid ( Imtheachta Aeniasa) and the Destruction of Troy ( Togail Troí), Mercury wears a "bird covering" or "feather mantle" ( Old Irish: encennach, énchendach), which clearly derives from Mercury's talaria, such as described by Virgil. [14] [15] [c] In this 13th century illumination, Mercury (on the right) is mostly naked and has feather-like wings on his head and legs. Wingtip: A term used to describe a stitching pattern that’s in the shape of a bird’s wing. Often erroneously used by Americans to describe a full brogue, it’s actually more appropriate to use the word to describe an austerity brogue. Austerity brogue: A shoe with nothing but a wingtip pattern on the upper. No perforations, pinking, or medallions. It’s technically not a brogue as there are no perforations.

In the 1980s and 90s, the shoe with wings logo became synonymous with the brand. It was during this time that the logo gained widespread recognition and popularity. The logo featured a pair of wings attached to a shoe, symbolizing speed, agility, and freedom. The iconic Vans logo, also known as the “shoe with wings,” is instantly recognizable and has become a symbol of the brand’s identity. The logo features a skateboarder soaring through the air, representing freedom, creativity, and self-expression.Throughout its history, the shoe with wings logo has undergone various transformations, ultimately becoming an iconic symbol of the brand. Let’s take a closer look at how the logo evolved over time. The winged shoes logo became ubiquitous in the 1980s and 90s The winged shoes logo, featuring a shoe with wings, made its debut around the same time. The logo was designed to represent the freedom and rebellious spirit of skateboarders, who were pushing the boundaries of what was possible on a skateboard. In ancient Greek literature, the sandals of Hermes are first of all mentioned by Homer ( ἀμβρόσια χρύσεια; ambrósia khrýseia, "immortal/divine and of gold"), though not described as "winged".

In fact, you’re better off buying brogues, semi-brogues, and quarter brogues all before buying a pair of wingtips. These are much easier to find than austerity brogues, and as such you’ll spend less time looking and more time enjoying the shoes you bought. Hermes also wears a winged petasos, a traveler hat. In other representations he wears a winged helmet.The Latin noun tālāria, neuter plural of tālāris signifies "of the ankle". It is not quite certain how the Romans arrived at the meaning of "winged sandals" from this, possibly that the wings were attached at the ankles, or the sandals were tied around the ankles. [1] Attestations [ edit ] One of the oldest known representations: [2] Perseus, wearing the talaria and carrying the kibisis over his shoulder, turns his head to kill Medusa on this Orientalizing relief pithos, c. 660 BC, Louvre. The founders believed that by selling directly to customers, they could offer high-quality shoes at a reasonable price. It was initially created to reinforce the durability and structure of the shoes but soon became a recognizable symbol of Vans. If you’re a man just beginning to build his shoe wardrobe, a wingtip (if you can find one) is a great sixth or seventh shoe to add to your rotation. Its versatility is such that it can be worn with anything from jeans to suits, so if you invest well, you can have one pair that you wear for years. What Next? The wingtip is, on paper, a member of the brogue family. Brogues are some of the most widely worn shoes in menswear, with broguing in some form showing up on everything from sneakers to monkstraps, from oxfords to derbies, and from chelsea boots to chukka boots. They can be found in leather and suede, custom or ready-to-wear.
