Introducing: Vans Authentic.

Vans really need no introduction, especially not the Vans Authentic. They’re the original shoe that define Vans' heritage, since their launch in 1966. They were originally dubbed Style #44 upon their beginnings, however have become known as the Authentic ever since then.

The shoe has become renowned for its durability and versatility, a blank canvas from which creative expression can be explored. Though they began as a style that caught the eye of Southern Californian surfers and skaters, they’ve since expanded into a worldwide brand, and a world renowned product.

Check out 5 of our favourite things about Vans below…

#1. They can be worn with anything and are super versatile - they’re not just one thing. They can be worn on the street, or on the runway - they can both be dressed up and down.

#2. They’re made of a super durable canvas material, making them long-wearing and long-lasting. You can also easily clean them (especially if you have a white pair!), using dish detergent and warm water, just make sure to rinse them thoroughly afterwards.

#3. They come in a variety of different colourways, meaning you can own multiple pairs of the same style and just alternate the colour you wear. From yellow to red to the classic black, there’s a colour to suit every occasion.

#4.  Vans have been a longtime partner of Warped Tour, which has seen the likes of Paramore, All Time Low, Blink 182, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy play the travelling festival in the past.
