Product Overview
The original. Refreshed colors
Born in 1966 as the Style 44, the Vans Authentic Shoe started it all. Its debut introduced the now-iconic waffle outsole, giving skaters the grip and durability they needed to push limits. Refined and reinforced over time, it’s a symbol of Vans’ legacy—timeless, dependable, and true to its roots. Now part of the Color Theory Collection, it’s reimagined in vibrant hues for a fresh, creative take.
