The Vans Skate Authentic Mid takes Vans' original silhouette and raises the ankle for added support without giving up the Authentic's stripped-back, low-profile character. This model is built with sturdy canvas uppers, DuraCap™ toe bumpers and underlay reinforcement in high-wear zones for extra grip and durability, PopCush™ cushioning for maximum impact protection, and Vans' original waffle outsole for superior grip and board control.
