Vans, which was founded in 1966, also introduced the #44 Deck Shoe in the same year, which has now been renamed as the 'Authentic'. Over the years, this shoe has undergone various updates and alterations since its initial launch. The latest version, called the 'Pink Gum Block', features a stylish pink canvas upper and a unique half white and half gum sole, giving it a fashionable twist. The shoe is further enhanced with subtle midfoot branding in the form of a Vans tag, complementing the stitching detail and white laces at the top.
