Remaining unchanged since it debut in 1966, the original lace up deck shoe, the Authentic was the first skate shoe shoe with Vans waffle sole. A true classic, and still one of the most popular silhouettes around. This version, from their California collection, is constructed from a brushed cotton twill and is finished with a tonal outsole and leather laces. A reworking of a classic and pretty much the ultimate summer shoe.
