VansVans LX Authentic 44 EK Punk Check Red Blue

A red and blue checkerboard pattern gives the Vans LX Authentic 44 EK Punk Check Red Blue (VN000EJCRDB1) a distinct look for men who skate or wear skate-inspired footwear. White laces and a low-profile shape keep the design straightforward. Red and blue checks cover the upper, with white laces, a small Vans logo at the side and a white midsole. The checker pattern continues around the heel and toe, while dark blue accents trace the collar and tongue. Paul and Jim Van Doren designed the Authentic, which debuted in 1966 as Style 44. Southern California skateboarders adopted the low-top shoe in the early 1970s.
