Curiosity: Vans began selling in a store specially set up for this purpose and on the first day had 12 clients, but they only had sneakers to make the showcase and the boxes were all empty. Then the customers selected the colors and styles they wanted, and Paul Van Doren went to the factory to quickly produce and deliver them later that day to his customers. When customers returned to pick up their orders, the store didn’t have enough change and so they’ve asked the clients to pay the next day. All 12 customers came back to pay their Vans. At the time the price ranged between $2.49 and $4.99.
