In 1966 brothers Paul Van Doren and Jim Van Doren along with their partners Gordon Lee and Serge D'Ella decided to set up a retail business that manufactured casual shoes that they aptly named the Van Doren Rubber Donna. The day their retail store debuted in Anaheim California was the same day the Vans #44 Deck Shoes, now known as the Vans Authentic, was also released to the public.

On that first morning, twelve customers purchased the Vans Authentic shoe, but the Donna only manufactured the three display shoes without any stock ready to sell. Nonetheless, the consumers chose their preferred style and color and were asked to return later in the afternoon to obtain their purchase.
