Born in Anaheim, California in 1966, the Authentic is the original Vans heritage style. Originally known as Vans #44 Deck Shoes, the Authentic became an immediate cult icon, and has embodied our Off The Wall attitude ever since. Constructed with a simple low top, lace-up profile, this classic shoe keeps the old school vibe alive with sturdy canvas uppers, metal eyelets, and signature rubber waffle outsoles.
