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 lace-up profile, the Woodland Wash Authentic combines our classic low top shoe with sturdy textile uppers featuring an allover organic print. This time-honored silhouette also includes metal eyelets and signature rubber waffle outsoles. • Vans’ original low top shoe • Lace-up closure • Sturdy textile uppers • Signature rubber waffle outsoles • 4 metal eyelet lace rows for sizes 3.5-6 • 5 metal eyelet lace rows for sizes 6.5 and up
