Manage episode 326225270 series 3341132
Kevin talks to the head of one of the most iconic shoe brands of our generation: VANS. Authentic to its core, we hear the real story of how the VANS shoe company started in southern California and grew to prominence in mainstream culture through its steadfast support of the action sports and punk rock communities, as well as the marketing genius of Steve Van Doren. Hear how our beloved Warped tour was nearly titled the “Calvin Klein Warped Tour” and many more stories about our favorite shoe company. This episode is truly a family affair as we are joined by Steve Van Doren, Kristy Van Doren, Paul Van Doren, and Bob Provost to hear their first-hand accounts of stories on and off the road.
