The Vans Authentic sneaker, initially known as the #44 Deck Shoe, first hit the market in 1966, just after the skate brand's introduction that year. This particular model, named "Navy," stays true to the timeless design of the original, featuring a monochrome canvas upper and metal rivets. The understated color choice not only accentuates the single-wrapped foxing tape and vintage 'Off The Wall' license plate on the heel but also highlights the durable vulcanized rubber sole, which enhances the wearer's connection with the skateboard.
