Step Up Your Sidewalls With This New Vans Authentic

If you're a sneakerhead living life from the bottom up (the ground, people, we're talking about the ground), then the new Vans Authentic is bound to catch your eye. Available in both black and white iterations, the 'Sidewall Sketch' leaves the canvas upper completely bare, choosing to step up the sidewall instead with a gnarly graffiti-style repeat logo, extending around the sides and the back.

For maximum pop, the look is rounded off with matching laces and a matching logo tag – in red for the black colorway, and blue for the white – and a contrast stripe at the midsole. The black also features contrast white stitching and eyelets.

Pick up a pair now at Urban Outfitters for $55.
