<p><strong>In the tradition of bestsellers such as</strong><em><strong>Shoe</strong></em><em><strong>Dog</strong></em>**,<em><strong><strong>Authentic</strong></strong></em>is a surprisingly candid, compelling memoir by a high school dropout who went on to establish one of the world's most iconic brands.**</p> <p>You may not have known their creator, but you certainly know the shoes: for more than four generations, Vans shoes have been synonymous with cool.</p> <p>Now in *Authentic,*a memoir written by Paul Van Doren and published just before his May 2021 death, the charismatic founder of Vans shares his story of heading West and capturing the American dream.</p> <p><em>Authentic</em> is a celebration of Van Doren's remarkable life and the iconic brand he built, beloved by skateboarders, creatives, and fans everywhere for its laid-back, colorful SoCal vibe, and famous for its people-oriented company culture.</p> <p>In <em>Authentic</em>, he shares his unlikely journey from high-school dropout to sneaker-industry legend. A blue-collar kid with no higher education and zero retail experience, Van Doren started out as a 16-year-old "service boy" at a local rubber factory. Over the next few decades, he leveraged a knack for numbers, a genius for efficiency, and the know-how to make a great canvas tennis shoe into an all-American success story. What began as a family shoe business has today evolved into a globally recognized brand with billions of dollars of annual revenue.</p> <p>Van Doren is not just an entrepreneur, he's an innovator. In 1966, when the first House of Vans store opened, there were no stand-alone retail stores just for sneakers. Paul's bold experiments in product design, distribution, and marketing (Why not sell custom shoes? Single shoes?), aided by legions of fans ー skateboarders, surfers, even Sean Penn wearing Vans' famous checkerboard slip-on shoe in the film <em>Fast Times at Ridgemont High</em>ー made Vans a household name. But there was also back-breaking work, a shocking bankruptcy, family turmoil, and a profound shift in how customers think about athletic shoes.</p> <p>The book details Van Doren's personal life, but also hard-won business lessons learned over six turbulent decades in the shoe trade: the importance of deep-rooted values, of improvisation, of vision (and revision), and above all, of valuing people over profits.</p> <p><em>Authentic</em> is Paul Van Doren's written legacy and his lessons for the innovators of tomorrow.</p> <p><strong>Bracingly forthright and totally entertaining,<em><strong><strong>Authentic</strong></strong></em>is a business memoir by an American original.</strong></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
