Vans Authentic

Why Choose the Vans Authentic

The Vans Authentic is the original Vans sneaker - the shoe that launched the brand in 1966. Originally known as the #44 Deck Shoe, it was made and sold directly to customers from Vans’ first store in Anaheim, California. With its low-profile canvas upper and vulcanised rubber waffle sole, the Authentic quickly gained a following among surfers and skateboarders for its durability, grip, and excellent boardfeel.
Over time, the Authentic became a cornerstone of Vans’ lineup, loved for its clean, minimalist look and all-day wearability. It has served as a blank canvas for countless collaborations, bridging skate culture, streetwear, and fashion. Still true to its original design, today’s version adds modern comfort with UltraCush insoles while retaining the classic style that’s made it a subcultural icon for nearly 60 years.
