Born in Anaheim, California in 1966, the Authentic is the original Vans heritage style.
Originally known as Vans #44 Deck Shoes, the Authentic became an immediate cult icon, and has embodied our Off The Wall attitude ever since. Constructed with a simple low top, lace-up profile, the Kids Authentic brings this time-honored staple to the next generation. This classic shoe also features sturdy textile uppers, metal eyelets, and signature rubber waffle outsoles.
