The Vans Authentic, a shoe that has become an icon in skate culture since it first emerged in 1966, boasts a minimalist design that is instantly recognizable. This 'Port Royale' iteration of the shoe stays true to its roots by featuring the classic canvas upper, reinforced metal eyelets, and signature flag label. It also retains the original's essence with its high foxing tape and 'Off the Wall' bumper logo. The vulcanized midsole and Waffle tread pattern, both quintessential elements of the Vans brand, continue to embody the brand's distinct aesthetic.
