A Grip-Focused Shoe for Skateboarding
For time on a skateboard, the Vans Authentic's Waffle rubber sole is described by Vans as offering superior grip, making it what they call the ultimate skateboarding shoe. The brand's vulcanised rubber construction is also praised by skaters for its grip and support while on the board.[1,2]
Maintain the Classic Look
Although there are numerous ways to lace up the Authentic trainers, a specific lacing method is presented as the best way to maintain the shoe's classic look.[2]
