Red/White pushes the Authentic Checkerboard Shoe into its most graphic register. Racing red checks run across a white canvas upper, a high-contrast pattern that has been shorthand for Vans since kids started drawing it on their own shoes in the late '70s.
The Authentic began as a quiet 1966 deck shoe before skateboarders claimed it, and the construction still reflects that simplicity. Metal eyelets and a lace-up closure adjust the fit, a rubber sidewall wears the classic foxing stripe, and vulcanized build plus the signature waffle outsole deliver the flex and grip the model is known for.
