A great community is made up of people who all have unique gifts and talents to share, and I can't think of a better one than our Vans family. It's been over 15 years that we've been fostering this culture, and we've met some really amazing folks along the way. Folks who've found unique ways to show their love and appreciation for Vans, proving that Vans is not just one thing. #31daysofvans was created by one of us. #meetthevansfam was created by one of us. A Facebook group of over 30k members were created by one of us. The most dedicated Vans sneaker blog, forum, and pioneering Instagram page in the world were created by one of us.Our community constantly evolves and grows. The platform changes, and the one sailing the ship switches seats, but we're all on board for the wild ride, wherever it takes us. From OTWS, to Under The Palms, to SV, to Strictly Waffles, to now Wearing Waffles. I've witnessed every single day of it, so recognizing how far we've come is hard to put into perspective, but damn. Looking back, we've sure done some cool shit.I sit here trying to form the right words to show my gratitude and appreciation for @stevevandoren and the amazing team at Vans who put together this event of a lifetime for our peoples. You are our hero, and you set the example we all strive to live by. I want to thank our bro @wearingwaffles for charming Steve into creating this opportunity. We're riding your coattails now brotha'! None of this was possible w/o our brother @newkon. NONE OF THIS! There's so many more to thank, so sorry. I couldn't feel more blessed, and my heart is beyond full. Let's run this back again next year, what do you say?! -Bill
