VansVans Premium Authentic 44 Utility Wash Racing Red

A washed red finish gives the Vans Premium Authentic 44 Utility Wash Racing Red (VN000DB8IZQ) a distinct look. This men's skate shoe keeps the low-top Authentic profile and pairs its bold upper with a light-colored sole for a clear contrast. The red upper has a visibly washed, uneven finish, with cream laces and matching light eyelets. A small Vans side label sits near the lacing, while a narrow red strip above the textured off-white midsole meets a gum-colored outsole and toe area. Paul and Jim Van Doren designed the Authentic, which debuted in 1966 as Style 44. Southern California skateboarders adopted the design in the early 1970s.
