Vans really need no introduction, especially not the Vans Authentic. They’re the original shoe that define Vans' heritage, since their launch in 1966. They were originally dubbed Style #44 upon their beginnings, however have become known as the Authentic ever since then.
The shoe has become renowned for its durability and versatility, a blank canvas from which creative expression can be explored. Though they began as a style that caught the eye of Southern Californian surfers and skaters, they’ve since expanded into a worldwide brand, and a world-renowned product.
