Vans Customs have been a tradition since 1966, when Paul Van Doren made shoes with any fabric people brought by the shop. Today, the creativity is still in your hands.Featuring classic silhouettes with recycled PET canvas upper made from recycled plastic bottles, the Recycled Materials collection merges our commitment to sustainability with your creative expression. Our PET is made by thoroughly cleaning used plastic bottles and crushing them into small plastic chips. Those chips are then melted into plastic pellets, which are turned into fibers that can be woven into yarns—ultimately creating our PET Canvas material, so that you can design a one-of-a-kind style and help protect our one and only planet.Pick your shoe, pick your colors and patterns, and make them yours.
