The Heritage Shoe that Started It All. This is the Authentic—Since 1966.
The Authentic is the original Vans silhouette. First introduced in 1966 and driven forward by creative culture ever since, this time-honored shoe keeps the old school vibe alive with a tonal debossed checkerboard pattern stamped across the soft suede upper. With its classic low-top design and iconic rubber waffle outsole, the Authentic Mono Checkerboard is a blank canvas for creativity that allows you to do your thing in your own unique way.
