The Vans Authentic LX 44 "Puritan Gray" (VN000D5KTTN) is a timeless sneaker, originally known as the Style 44. First introduced in 1966, this model captures the essence of California in the 70s and has become a silhouette for all generations. It features a durable canvas upper, a woven flag label, high foxing tape, a vulcanized midsole, and a classic gum rubber sole. The unique thickness of the sole, noted by skaters in the '70s for its legendary durability and grip, provides enhanced board control.
