Our take on the Vans Premium Authentic Sneaker

The Vans Premium Authentic is the brand's original low-top silhouette rebuilt with upgraded materials: a ripstop textile upper, metal eyelets, a higher sidewall with a greased gloss finish, and a Sola Foam ADC insole that is at least 30% biobased. This version adds low-pyramid studs and crystals for a dressed-up take on the classic skate shoe, and it ships with an extra set of laces. It keeps the vulcanized build and signature waffle outsole that made the Authentic a staple. Pricing varies by store and colorway, so compare listings before buying.

Best forShoppers who want a classic Vans silhouette with a dressier finish

Questions and answers

How does the Premium Authentic differ from the standard Authentic?
The Premium version uses a ripstop textile upper, metal eyelets, a higher sidewall with a greased gloss finish, and a Sola Foam ADC insole. The standard Authentic uses plain canvas and a thinner, less cushioned insole.
Is the Sola Foam insole removable?
The Sola Foam ADC insole is at least 30% biobased PU foam and is built into the shoe. It is not designed as a removable orthotic, so shoppers needing custom support should size up and add their own insole.
Do the studs and crystals fall off?
The low-pyramid studs and crystals are attached to the upper. Reports on similar embellished Vans are mixed, so treat them as decorative and avoid machine washing or heavy abrasion.
What comes in the box?
The pair ships with an extra set of cotton laces. The shoes come laced with the standard set.
How does sizing run?
Vans Authentic models generally run true to length but are narrow. Shoppers with wide feet often go up a half size.
When is it cheapest?
Vans Premium models tend to drop during seasonal sales and end-of-season clearances. Compare store prices and check the price history before buying.
