The Vans Authentic sneaker, initially named the #44 Deck Shoe, was the pioneer footwear introduced by the Van Doren Rubber Company. Over time, it has become iconic to Southern California's skate culture and has evolved into a timeless lifestyle model. This all-black edition maintains the original features such as the sturdy canvas upper, metal eyelets, the distinctive 'Off The Wall' bumper logo at the heel, and the traditional waffle outsole.
