Born in 1966, the Authentic shoes set the standard for clean, functional style. This premium version stays true to its origins while adding a refined touch with a lightweight canvas upper, a sleeker fit, and a cushioned insole that ensures softer wear and lasting comfort. It’s a new level of fit for an original, timeless icon.

This model breaks the mold with its pinstripe-inspired, psychedelic mix-and-match Checkerboard pattern. It also features our legendary black-and-white outsole, the iconic heel logo, and a woven flag label on the side for an unmistakable Vans finish.
