Vans Skate Authentic Shoes - Black/Black/Gum

The Skate Classics: Built Extra Tough on the Inside for Skateboarding

Completely redesigned for modern skateboarding, the Skate Classics collection delivers more of what skateboarders need to enable maximum progression. A vulcanized shoe made with classic suede and canvas uppers, the Skate Authentic gives you the iconic look you want while bringing all the performance benefits skateboarders demand.

• INCREASED DURABILITY - DURACAP™ reinforced materials, deeper knurl texture on the toe bumpers, and higher sidewall heights provide a heritage look with increased durability and protection.
• FULLY REDESIGNED UPPERS - Reconstructed with a molded heel counter and internal tongue straps for a locked-in fit and more board control.
• LEGENDARY GRIP - Our proprietary SickStick™ gum rubber compound is our stickiest rubber yet.
• POPCUSH™ CUSHIONING - Our best cushioning and impact protection. PopCush™ energy return footbeds protect your feet while helping to lessen leg fatigue for longer skate sessions.
• ICONIC STYLING - A mix of suede and 283 gm canvas has been used at the upper, maintaining the aesthetic of the original Authentic.
