The General by Vans is a boutique, story-focused shopping concept with two locations in New York City. The stores showcase the very best products and local brand stories from Vans, thoughtfully curated in custom built, community-centered environments. Featuring exclusive footwear, clothing and accessories, including an in-house collection, The General by Vans also stocks a full selection of skate hard goods.

The original General by Vans opened in September 2011 in a landmark building in New York's historic SoHo district, and is authentically rooted in New York City's storied street and skateboarding communities of this area. The second General by Vans opened in September 2017 in Williamsburg - the epicenter of the fashion, art and creative communities in Brooklyn - and has become a home for a range of ongoing events and experiences in partnership with local makers.
