The Heritage Shoe that Started It All. This is the Authentic-Since 1966. The Authentic is the original Vans silhouette. First introduced in 1966 and driven forward by creative culture ever since, the Embroidered Check Authentic Shoes keep the old school vibe alive. Elevated materials highlight Vans’ checkerboard DNA with an embroidered check detail on the heel, bringing a fresh twist to this original style staple.
