Vimeo bills itself as a “world of awesome”, a tag that seems fitting for the most beautiful and unique video streaming site on the web. That kind of gnarly language might not even have ever existed, much less matriculate to the mainstream, without the foundation laid forty-six years ago when the Van Doren brothers kickstarted their namesake sneaker brand.
