Est. 1966. Where it all startedBorn in 1966 as the Style 44, the Vans Authentic Suede Shoe builds on the legacy of the one that started it all. Featuring smooth suede uppers for a premium look and feel, it carries forward the iconic waffle outsole that gave skaters the grip and durability to push limits. Refined and reinforced over time, it’s a symbol of Vans’ legacy—timeless, dependable, and true to its roots. Often imitated, never replicated, it’s a classic that’s here to stay.Low-top shoeSturdy suede uppers with silver seamsUnpadded, low-profile cluff for a minimalist fitMetal eyelets.
