The Vans Authentic is probably the most basic pair of Vans you can get, outside of slip-ons.  That said, they remain a popular choice for those that want to rock some kicks from the brand.  Simple construction, a basic look, and a plethora of different colors make them an attractive choice for consumers looking for an inexpensive new pair.

Vans does release limited versions of the model for those that lean more on the collector side of sneaker fandom.  Typically, collabs in the model get slept on, but I love me a sleeper!  Thus, I’ve been able to grab a few limited pairs in the day that I simply cannot find on the market today.
