There’s hardly any point in giving an overwrought explanation of such a simple shoe, so we’ll just point out that the Vans Authentic is the model that launched the entire Vans empire. Back when it was known as the Style #44, the durable canvas and sticky, soles of this deck shoe were seized on by skateboarders, who were searching for footwear that could handle the unique demands of their chosen pastime, and the rest is history. 

This take on the classic shoe gives the most iconic export from the 1980s. No, not John Hughes movies. Acid wash. And in a colorful lavender.

If a size is not listed, it is sold out.
