Born in 1966, the Authentic set the standard for clean, functional design. This premium build stays true to its roots while stepping things up with a lightweight canvas upper, a refined fit, and a cushioned insole for lasting comfort and a softer step. It’s a new level of wearability for a timeless original. Our biobased Sola Foam ADC (All-Day Comfort) insole is soft, removable, and designed for all-day cushioning and improved comfort. The upgraded footbed and refined construction combine for a more seamless fit. Glossy sidewalls, higher foxing tape and archival branding honor the original details of ‘90s era-Vans footwear.
