What a chill, down to earth guy. Small aspiring businesses should look to him as an example.

@G05Box Thank you for the request! We'll add it to our list. By the way, we recently interviewed another of the original Z-Boys: Tony Alva. So stayed tuned for that!

i remembeer the original store. it was a tiny yellow house on delamo. i remember getting my first pair of vans there. then a few years later they built a larger store across the street. its insane how big theyve gotten. i was custom ordering sneaklers all through my jr high and high school years

Steve Van Doren is the The Man. I don't wear anything other than Vans. I went with DC Shoes for a couple of years, but in the end I came back to wearing Vans. "Off The Wall" 🤘

Dude is super chill and seems easy to understand I want him to custom make a pair for me be dope as fuck

@EdmondSwitch Your comments & suggestions are so appreciated that WatchMojo has decided to create more of these origins. But we have 7500 videos & produce 100/month, so adding unrelated negative comments to other videos isn't appreciated/welcome. We don't want to block you as we love your passion & will do more of the origins, but the same way that you appreciate the origins, other people come to us for fashion tips, music interviews, etc. All we ask is that you keep that in mind. Thanks.

It's a shame that this brand in the UK has been taken over by the chavs/hipsters

Watch Lords of Dogtown first, then Dogtown and Z-Boyz and you'll need nothing else.
