Description

With all that being the case, Hephaistos [Hephaestus] would be the natural choice for the origin of the shoes, winged or not, since he was the resident metalworker and craftsman for the Olympian deities. If not him then the original three Cyclopes who were the great-uncles of Hermes and Hephaistos, and together with whom Hephaistos worked on Zeus' lightning bolts, would be the next best candidates. In this approximately 3000 word article, we’ll dive into the full story behind Vans’ famous sidestripe shoe with wings logo. We’ll cover the history of the Vans brand, how the logo was created, what the wings and other design elements represent, and how the logo has evolved over the decades while remaining an iconic symbol of Vans’ identity and roots within skateboarding and youth culture. The Origins of Vans in the 1960s and 1970s Vans was founded as the Van Doren Rubber Company in 1966 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.

The sidestripe design was not just a stylistic choice but also a functional one. It was initially added to Vans’ skate shoe models to provide additional support and durability. Skateboarders needed shoes that could withstand the wear and tear of their sport, and the sidestripe helped reinforce the shoes’ construction. Over time, the sidestripe became a recognizable symbol of Vans’ commitment to skateboarding culture. It became a visual representation of Vans’ connection to the skateboarding community and their dedication to creating shoes that catered to the specific needs of skateboarders. The colors reflected the bright, creative Vans style Wingtips have nothing but a wingtip pattern. Brogues have perforations and pinking. Austerity brogue is a nonsense term, and we are throwing it out except to keep it around for historical reference. Sometimes, it has been interpreted that Hermes feet are winged, rather that the wings being part of his sandals. [16] In popular culture [ edit ]

Today, the sidestripe design and winged shoes logo are not only associated with Vans’ skateboarding heritage but have also become popular fashion statements. From professional skateboarders to celebrities and fashion enthusiasts, people from all walks of life proudly wear Vans shoes adorned with these iconic features. The Meaning Behind the Wings and Sidestripe Design

Hermes also wears a winged petasos, a traveler hat. In other representations he wears a winged helmet. 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? Despite the passing of time, the Vans logo with wings has managed to maintain its popularity and relevance, even as fashion trends come and go. Its timeless appeal has made it a favorite among skateboarders, musicians, and fashion enthusiasts alike. The logo is consistently ranked among the most recognizable in the worldBrogues are a 16th-to-17th century Scottish/Irish invention. They were shoes made for wading in water; the perforations were functional and served to let the shoes drain. Nowadays, the perforations are purely decorative. For a long time, brogues were strictly country shoes, but the blurring of the lines between country and city wear has made them more acceptable for town.

In Terraria, the player can acquire the item Hermes' Boots, which increase the players movement speed. [19] See also [ edit ] According to one estimation, it was around 5th century BC when the winged sandals came to be regarded as common (though not indispensable) accoutrements of the god Hermes. [1] One later instance which refers to the sandals being winged is the Orphic Hymns XXVIII to Hermes (3rd century BC to 2nd century AD). [6] [4]This design resonated with consumers, especially athletes and sports enthusiasts, as it embodied the spirit of athleticism and a desire to push boundaries. 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. When you see someone wearing Vans with the iconic wings and sidestripe, you know they are embracing the “Off the Wall” spirit and celebrating their own unique style. The Evolution of the Logo into an Iconic Brand Symbol Vans integrated the sidestripe across all its models and products, further establishing it as a core element of the brand’s identity. The combination of the shoe with wings logo and the sidestripe became synonymous with Vans and was a testament to the brand’s commitment to quality, style, and innovation. The logo transforms for special collections and collabs but retains its essence

In the case of the talaria worn by the swift runner Atalanta (Ovid, Metamorphoses X.591) some translators in the past steered away from recognizing them as footwear, and chose to regard them as " long robes, reaching to the ankle", starting with Planudes in the 14th century. This interpretation was also endorsed in the 17th century by Nicolaas Heinsius's gloss, and persisted in the 19th century with Lewis and Short's dictionary entry for this particular passage. [12] But there are "insuperable" reasons against this "robes" interpretation, for Ovid clearly states in the foregoing passages that Atalanta had disrobed [a] to engage in the foot-race. [13] [b] The sidestripe shoe with wings has become an instantly recognizable logo and brand icon for Vans. It originated in the 1970s but still encapsulates the free-spirited Vans attitude. The logo’s wings symbolize creative self-expression, while the stripes tie together Vans’ roots in skate and surf. 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. These collaborations have allowed the logo to evolve and adapt to different styles and creative visions while maintaining its core elements. The shoe with wings logo continues to be a symbol of the brand’s dedication to creativity, self-expression, and pushing boundaries.It would appear that you are correct in saying that there is no mention—at least not in the ancient mythographers—of the origin of Hermes' shoes. In the Wikipedia article about the shoes, it is claimed that "They were said to be made by the god Hephaestus of imperishable gold and they flew the god as swift as any bird." There is, however, no source indicated for this assertion (hence the 2013 citation needed tag on the statement in the article). It embodies the spirit of Vans, which encourages individuals to embrace their uniqueness and pursue their passions without fear of judgment or conformity. The logo has become a visual representation of the brand’s commitment to authenticity and the pursuit of one’s own path. Vans events and sponsorships embrace youth, music, and counterculture Vans has managed to strike a balance between staying true to its roots and embracing new trends. The logo with wings serves as a link between the brand’s past and its future, symbolizing Vans’ commitment to creativity and individuality.
