Vans Authentic Mid Classic Style, Upgraded for Skateboarding

The Vans Authentic Mid takes a timeless silhouette and re-engineers it for modern skateboarding. Featuring a full suede upper, this mid-top design provides enhanced durability and support, while maintaining the iconic Vans aesthetic skaters love.

A fully revised upper with DURACAP underlays, a molded heel counter, and locked-in tongue straps ensures a breathable, locked-in fit that holds up to heavy sessions. The two-part foxing with a toughened toe knurl improves board contact and flick, while the SickStick rubber compound and internal heel shank enhance grip, boardfeel, and impact protection.
