VANS AUTHENTIC – THE ICONIC SKATE SHOE

(2)

Opening a little shop in Anaheim, California, the Van Doren brothers certainly couldn’t expect the shoes they were selling to achieve cult status at one point in time. But we know better now. Vans skate shoes are a household name nowadays. It all began with the #44 deck shoe, also known as the Vans Authentic.

The simple design, the thick rubber sole and the sturdiness of the sneaker were only some reasons for especially the California skate scene to fall for it because the Vans shoe proved itself great for skating.

Authentic in style, created as an eternal legend

In the sixties, the Van Doren brothers founded a modest shop in Anaheim, California. Not only did a product begin here, but also a fashion legend that is still present in the scene today. Above all, the shoe has become a clear statement thanks to its timeless design and versatility. The Vans Authenthic gives you countless options: whether classic in black, elegant in white or eye-catching in colour. The sneaker is available in different colour variations and patterns so that you are perfectly equipped for every situation.

This is the Authentic from Vans

The ever-popular design of the Vans Authentic shoe has hardly changed in the last 40 years. The shoe is made of comfortable, airy canvas or leather fabric and the thick rubber sole is fitted with the original Vans Waffle Sole®, which offers particularly good grip when skating. To summarise, we can say:

Authentic heritage: Inspired by the Californian skateboard scene, the Vans Authentic carries the authentic heritage of skate culture.
Robust and hardwearing: The thickly padded rubber sole with characteristic waffle design and high-quality materials make the Authentic a long-lasting companion.
Versatile design: With its minimalist look and different colour variations, the Authentic offers countless styling options.

In addition to functionality and comfort, the minimalist look is one of the main reasons for the sneakers' popularity; it is not for nothing that they have been on the feet of surfers and skaters of all ages for years.
