| Design Heritage | Introduced in 1966 as the very first Vans shoe ever made, the Authentic is the silhouette that started it all. Its clean, low-profile canvas construction and vulcanized waffle outsole became the blueprint for skate footwear. The Skate Authentic preserves that original DNA while integrating modern skate performance technology for today's technical demands. |

| 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 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 carefully using 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.
