Vans Authentic - White - UK 6

It's a special collaboration between Vans and Comme des Garçons, featuring unique CDG embroidery on the classic Vans Authentic silhouette. This blend of skate culture and high fashion makes it a distinctive piece.

Purchase from authorized retailers or reputable resellers. Look for consistent stitching, quality materials, and the correct branding as described in the product details.

While they are built on a skate shoe silhouette and have a durable construction, they are primarily considered a fashion item due to the collaboration. For serious skateboarding, performance-oriented skate shoes are recommended.

The primary colors are White for the canvas, laces, and sole, with Black details in the embroidered CDG branding.

Collaborative models like this typically retail at a higher price point than standard Vans, reflecting the brand partnership and design. The original retail price was $110 in 2018.

The canvas upper is not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles to prevent damage and prolonged drying times.

The Vans Authentic generally runs true to size. However, it's always recommended to check Vans' official sizing guide or try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly.

Adjust the tightness of the laces. If the shoe consistently feels the wrong size, consider if you have the correct UK size or consult a sizing chart for alternatives.

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. For stubborn stains, professional shoe cleaning might be necessary.

For minor separation, a specialized shoe adhesive can be used. If the separation is significant, it may indicate excessive wear or a manufacturing defect.

Carefully trim any loose threads with small scissors. Avoid excessive rubbing on the embroidered area during cleaning.
