The Vans Authentic 44 Kickdowns, originally known as the Vans 44, are a foundational design in the brand's history, dating back to the late 1960s. These sneakers have left an indelible mark on both streetwear culture and the broader fashion landscape. The Authentic 44 Forest model is distinguished by its unique canvas upper featuring Sashiko stitching, adding a textured and artisanal touch. A soft, tone-on-tone suede heel panel provides a subtle contrast and enhances the shoe's premium feel. Adding these sneakers to your rotation allows you to capture a piece of Vans' heritage and embody the laid-back Southern California spirit that the brand represents
