The Vans Authentic is the historic model that started it all, launched in 1966. With its sturdy canvas upper and iconic rubber waffle sole, it embodies the classic low-top design that defined an era. This version features a lively update to the checkerboard shoe, with a black-and-white pied-de-poule print, adding a touch of personality to your everyday looks while keeping a sleek monochromatic style. The Authentic is an icon that celebrates creative culture and old-school style.
