The all-new Skate Classics line has been completely redesigned with skaters in mind, delivering even more of what skaters need to maximize their progression. Featuring a completely redesigned upper, molded heel counter, re-enforced tongue collars, and a re-molded DURACAP™ underlay, the Skate Classics Authentic offers an essential fit that’s more breathable and durable where skaters need it most. The two-piece outsole has a harder toe box and provides more board contact. The redesigned Vans gum rubber outsole is further enhanced with SICKSTICK™ rubber compound and an internal heel collar for added grip, boardfeel, support, and durability. The new Skate Classics Authentic features new sidewalls, a POPCUSH™ sockliner for superior cushioning and impact protection, and a streamlined checkerboard flag for the iconic look you want, with all the performance benefits true skaters demand.
