Vans LX Authentic 44 Utility wash Racing Red VN000DB8IZQ1

Skateboarders in the 1970s were enthusiastic adopters of the Model 44 and were the first to notice the legendary durability of its iconic waffle sole. The sole lasted much longer due to its unique thickness, and its design provided better traction for much better board control. The Premium Authentic 44 reintroduces the reinforcing stitching strip detail on the heel found in the handmade archival designs, as well as higher, shinier side panels.
