VANS SKATE - SKATE AUTHENTIC (TRUE WHITE)
Style Code: VN0A5FC8W00
Completely upgraded from the inside out for modern skateboarding, the Vans Skate Authentic in True White delivers the iconic aesthetic of the 1966 original loaded with pro-level performance technology. Part of the Vans Skate Classics line, this low-top silhouette combines classic minimalist canvas styling with reinforced upper durability, impact absorption, and board control built for heavy daily progression.
Dressed in a crisp True White finish, the Skate Authentic features internal tongue-locking straps, a molded heel counter for ankle lockdown, DURACAP™ rubber underlays in high-wear zones, and a super-tacky SickStick™ rubber waffle outsole for superior board grip.

PopCush™ Impact Cushioning: Premium energy-return footbeds absorb harsh impacts on stair sets and drops while reducing leg fatigue during long sessions.
