VansVans LX Authentic 44 EK Punk Check Green Navy

A green and navy checkerboard sets this men's skate shoe apart. The Vans LX Authentic 44 EK Punk Check Green Navy (VN000EJC5W31) brings the Authentic low-top silhouette to a patterned design for men who want a bold graphic across the upper. Green and navy checks cover the upper, with white laces and a small Vans label at the side. A cream-colored rubber sole provides a solid contrast beneath the pattern, with a textured section at the toe. Paul and Jim Van Doren designed the Authentic, which debuted in 1966 as Style 44 and began as a canvas boat shoe. Southern California skateboarders adopted the low-top design in the early 1970s.
