It has clearly been an up and down adventure for the Vans brand over the last seven years. “By forsaking ubiquity and instead focusing on Vans’ brand pillars of art, music, action sports and street culture, we continue to generate deep and meaningful consumer connectivity that is growing the Vans Family worldwide.” Fourth quarter sales at Vans were down 7 percent on a reported basis and down 6 percent on a currency-neutral basis. Vans’ sales were up 10 percent in the fourth quarter against year-ago pandemic-depressed sales, but the recovery was much softer than VF’s other brands. Within this number, Americas DTC will continue to grow as previously indicated in May, with continued improvement in DTC for other regions.
