The heritage shoe that started it all. This is the Authentic, since 1966.

The Authentic Shoes are the original Vans silhouette. First introduced in 1966 and driven forward by creative culture ever since, these time-honoured shoes keep the old school vibe alive with sturdy canvas uppers. Alongside their 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. With this playful twist on our iconic checkerboard shoe, this design features a black-and-white houndstooth print, perfect for adding a touch of personality to your everyday looks while keeping it subtle in monochrome.
