Vans

Vans makes skate-inspired footwear, clothing and accessories. Its history says the Van Doren brothers and their partners opened the Van Doren Rubber Company in Anaheim, California, in 1966. The brand's 'Off The Wall' line comes from its skate culture rather than a claim about the technical performance of every shoe. Its current US privacy policy identifies Vans as a division of VF Outdoor LLC, a subsidiary of VF Corporation, distinguishing present ownership from the founding company.

Volcom

Volcom is a board-sports clothing brand covering skate, surf and snow. Its official story dates its start to 1991, after Richard Woolcott and Tucker Hall discussed a riding company during a Tahoe snowboard trip, and describes the early operation as modest and run from their bedrooms. The brand's countercultural slogans and 'first boarding company' language are its own account of its identity. The history does not establish a current athlete endorsement or a performance claim for every garment.
