The shoe that started it all. Vans’ LX Authentic 44 pays tribute to the original #44 deck shoe - the one that launched an era. Archival details like heel strip stitching and higher-gloss sidewalls meet the same grippy, board-ready sole that made it a skate staple in the ’70s. Timeless, durable, effortlessly cool.

A style-forward take, Vans' Authentic LX 44 is a perennial '70s classic. The canvas upper features a cow print aesthetic, while higher sidewalls than its predecessor aids with structural support. Underfoot, sturdy 'Marshmallow' rubber sole units offers up timeless waffled grip just like they did back in the day. Taking design notes from archival Vans that were adopted by skaters in the '70s, the Authentic 44 LX is reintroduced with 'Cow Black' and 'Marshmellow' canvas uppers. Flat laces loop through metal eyelets in white matching the top stitching while higher foxing tape and archive branding pay tribute to original model. Beneath, Sola Foam midsoles ensure all-day comfort and the iconic waffle sole promises grip underfoot.
