| Design Heritage | Introduced in 1966 as Vans' very first shoe, the Authentic established the brand's foundational DNA. The Skate Authentic Mid builds on that legacy with a raised mid-top collar for added ankle support, preserving the Authentic's minimalist blueprint while integrating modern skate performance technology. |
| Upper Construction | Built with sturdy canvas uppers in a clean Black/White colorway, featuring a mid-top collar for enhanced ankle support and DuraCap™ rubber toe bumpers and underlays in high-abrasion 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, delivering the proven multi-directional grip, flexibility, and raw boardfeel that has defined skate footwear since the Authentic's debut in 1966. |
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 upper with a mild soap solution and a soft brush; rinse with a damp cloth and avoid saturating the shoe. 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.
