The Authentic is the original Vans silhouette, born in a small storefront in Anaheim, California. First introduced in 1966 and driven forward by creative culture ever since, this time-honored shoe keeps the old school vibe alive with smooth suede uppers in black and grey with silver seam details. With its classic low-top design and iconic rubber waffle outsole, the Authentic is a blank canvas for creativity that allows you to do your thing in your own unique way.
