A clever twist to the Authentic, the Mermaid Authentic Elastic Lace is a classic low top silhouette featuring elastic laces and pull tabs at the heel, allowing for an easy on-and-off fit. It also includes sturdy textile uppers with an all over mermaid print, and signature rubber waffle outsoles.
Vans' storied history, and its connection with skate and surf culture, began in 1966 Southern California with the rolling out of a single pair of shoes. They were named Authentic. In the generations since, they have only gotten more popular amongst hardcore skaters and skate enthusiasts. Their design is simple, stylish, and effective: a low top lace-up profile made with sturdy canvas uppers, and signature waffle rubber soles.
