SKATE AUTHENTIC
The Authentic was the first shoe sold by Vans in 1966.
Originally available in just three styles, the Authentic gained popularity among skateboarders in the early '70s. To meet today's demands, Vans has completely redesigned the Authentic and introduced it as the Vans Skate Authentic in the "Vans Skate Classics" line.
The shoe features an integrated tongue strap for a snug fit, a DURACAP underlay for added durability, a SickStick rubber compound outsole for grip, and an internal heel shank for enhanced board feel.
The classic design has been reimagined for a modern skate shoe. DURACAP™ reinforcement, deeper knurling on the toe bumper, and a taller sidewall provide increased durability and protection.
- Molded heel counter and tongue strap secure your foot for improved board control.
- Vans' proprietary SickStick™ rubber compound provides top-class grip.
POPCUSH™ cushioning is Vans' premier shock-absorbing material. The POPCUSH™ energy return footbed protects your feet and reduces fatigue even on long rides.
