The Vans Authentic in True White is the shoe that started it all. Originally released in 1966 as Vans' very first model, the Authentic — then known as Style #44 — was the shoe Paul Van Doren sold on day one at his Anaheim factory store. Its simple low-top, lace-up design with a durable canvas upper and Waffle outsole established the template that every Vans shoe has built upon since. This True White edition delivers the Authentic in its purest, most minimal form.
