Born in Anaheim, California in 1966, the Authentic Split Shoes are the original Vans heritage style. Originally know as Vans #44 Deck Shoes, the Authentic became an immediate cult icon, and has embodied our “Off The Wall” attitude ever since. Constructed with a simple low top, lace-up profile, these classic shoes also feature sturdy canvas uppers with split colours, metal eyelets, and signature rubber waffle outsoles.
