Their most enduring and timeless shoe, Vans’ Authentic was first produced by the Van Doren brothers back in 1966, which means it’s probably older than your parents. Why has it remained relevant in the culture for over half a century? You’d have to chalk a lot of that down to versatility; the shoe can pretty much be slid into any outfit combo while also being functional and comfy – it’s the ultimate wingman and wardrobe staple.
Sydney’s Mia Kidis brought a 90s grunge-pop aesthetic and energy to the Authentic in our recent shoot. Check out the tatt-covered model’s brooding coolness in the video below and gallery above, and head here to shop the iconic Vans Authentic now:
