Vans' most famous model gets a DIY-esque makeover thanks to a dip-dyed treatment.

The Authentic aka 'Style 44' is where it all began for Vans—the deck shoe quickly became a favourite amongst sidewalk surfers on their newfound inventions. Eventually this daredevil sport gained a name and skateboarding was born, bringing the Vans name with it.

This 'dip-dye' version of the Authentic sees the entire uppers piece dyed in deep blue pigment—creating a unique finish that resembles the same patina a pair of well-worn jeans would exhibit.
