Vans Old Skool Checkerboard - Oatmeal future proprietary SickStick™ gum rubber compoundThe Authentic is where it all began in 1966. A quiet deck shoe claimed by the loudest kids on the block skateboarders. This offshoot of California surf culture gave Vans its purpose and time made that skate shoe a global icon. Worn by the noisemakers. Artists and innovators. Misfits and malcontents. The Authentic has always been for those who shape culture and never ask to belong.
