Vans, the original action sports brand, and leading New York-based streetwear purveyor and skateshop DQM announced today plans for The Vans DQM General to be located at 93 Grand Street in the heart of New York’s coveted SoHo district. The General, Vans’ first company retail foray in Manhattan, brings together two of the most prolific names in contemporary streetwear — one rooted in Southern California surf and skate, the other in New York skate and street — in creating a unique retail concept carrying both original, exclusive co-branded DQM for Vans footwear and crafted apparel as well as select Vans and DQM premium product for men, women and kids. Slated to open in early September, the 2,600 square foot Vans DQM General will be deeply rooted in the heritage of its SoHo neighborhood and its past life as haven for skateboarders, punks, artists and risk-takers of all kinds.
