vans the Authentic

The vans the Authentic, born as the #44 deck shoe in 1966, is the foundational shoe style of the vans the brand, originally designed by Paul Van Doren and his partners in their inaugural Anaheim, California factory. Its simplistic design, featuring a canvas upper and rubber waffle outsole, quickly became a favorite among Southern California's burgeoning skateboard community due to its superior grip. Over the decades, the vans the Authentic has maintained its classic design, all while being reinterpreted through various designs, patterns, and collaborations. Notable collaborations include partnerships with MASTERMIND WORLD, Odd Future, and KENZO, each adding a unique spin on this timeless silhouette and solidifying the vans the Authentic as a staple in the world of casual footwear.
