The brand-new Skate Classics line has been completely redesigned to give skaters more of what they need to progress. The Skate Classics Authentic features a fully reworked upper, a molded heel counter, bound tongue straps and a newly cut DURACAP™ reinforcement. It delivers a classic fit for more breathability and durability right where skaters need it most. The two-piece rubber sidewall with a more aggressive toe-bumper texture gives better board contact. The redesigned rubber outsole that made Vans famous has been further improved with the SICKSTICK™ rubber compound and an internal heel shank for more grip, more board feel, more support and more durability. With a new side design, a POPCUSH™ insole for optimal cushioning and impact absorption, and a classic checkerboard flag, the new Skate Authentic gives you the legendary look you want, with all the features real skaters need.
