First seen in 1966, the Vans Authentic defines the brand's heritage with a simple, iconic style. This 'Patchwork' edition—introduced in May 2018—is reworked and quilted in textiles inspired by traditional Japanese boro fabrics. A flag label, high foxing rim and 'Off the Wall' heel badge remain essential to the look. This update hits the pavement on a signature vulcanized midsole and Waffle outsole.
