Vans works in collaboration with one of its team riders Andrew Allen to launch the Skate Authentic High collection. It is comprised of two tonal iterations of the classic Authentic High model. The exclusive launch celebrates Skate Shop Day and the first of the two colorways is a stealthy all-black palette. The signature checkerboard pattern follows this and the design puts skaters at the forefront of mind.
It features custom artwork that nods to Andrew’s signature ‘AA’ logo with a keychain to add a personal touch. Performance components back up the model with DURACAP technology to ensure that it remains durable, as well as the SICKSTICK gum rubber unit with the Vans waffle sole and the POPCUSH insoles for impact protection and cushioning. The collection is joined by a reversible beanie and woven buttoned top to round it all out.
