This season, Vans Anaheim Factory celebrates the earliest days of the Authentic with a nautical theme. Paying tribute to a time before skateboarders discovered Vans, the Authentic 44 Deck DX comes reissued with a rare, blue siped outsole—thin rubber slits used for traction in wet conditions—taking us back to when this boat shoe really was a boat shoe.
Offering modernized comfort with upgraded Ortholite® sockliners, the Authentic 44 Deck DX also features throwback details like the original style number, higher glossed foxing tape, original drill lining weight, and cotton laces. This classic lace-up shoe is made with vintage-inspired textile uppers and an allover anchor print to complete the look.
