The Vans Authentic shoe was the first model produced by Vans since its inception in 1966. It was designed by Paul Van Doren, the company's founder, and remains popular today in skateboarding, punk and many other cultures where it has earned a reputation as an iconic shoe.
Materials
Upper
Textile: The textile upper of the sneakers is lightweight, breathable and comfortable, ideal for everyday wear and sports. It ensures air circulation, keeps feet fresh and adapts to their shape. Often complemented with synthetic or rubber details for durability and support.
Sole
Rubber: The rubber outsole provides excellent grip and durability on a variety of surfaces. Thanks to its elasticity, it absorbs shock, increasing comfort when walking or running.
Van Doren Rubber Co. was founded in 1966 by Paul Van Doren in Anaheim, California. The brand’s unique journey began when Paul experimented with molding soles on a classic waffle maker—an unconventional idea at the time that has since become a cornerstone of modern footwear. At Footshop, we offer a wide range of Vans apparel, sneakers, and accessories for men, women, and children in a variety of styles and colors.
