MOSSY OLIVE
Style: VN0A5FC8FR11
| Technical Component | Specification Detail |
|---|---|
| Design Heritage | Introduced in 1966 as Vans' very first shoe, the Authentic established the brand's foundational DNA — a stripped-back, low-profile canvas silhouette built for function. The Skate Authentic preserves that minimalist blueprint while integrating modern skate performance technology for today's technical demands. |
| Upper Construction | Built with sturdy olive canvas and suede uppers with single-wrap white foxing tape, reinforced with DuraCap™ rubber underlays in high-abrasion flip zones for unrivaled durability through the most demanding skate sessions. |
| Underfoot Architecture | Equipped with PopCush™ energy-return sockliner for superior impact cushioning that keeps your foot close to the board while providing maximum protection during heavy landings. |
| Outsole Traction | Features Vans' original vulcanized waffle outsole in gum rubber, delivering the proven multi-directional grip, flexibility, and raw boardfeel that has defined skate footwear since the Authentic's debut — with a warm gum accent underfoot to complement the olive upper. |
WASH & CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Gently brush away loose surface dirt and grip tape dust using a soft sneaker brush or a dry microfiber cloth. Spot clean the canvas panels with a mild soap solution and a soft brush; clean suede panels carefully using a dedicated suede eraser and brush, avoiding heavy water saturation to keep the nap from hardening. Allow the shoe to air dry naturally at room temperature away from direct sunlight or harsh artificial heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
