LX Authentic 44 Mohair

The Vans LX Authentic 44 Mohair reinvents the first Vans silhouette from 1966 with an exceptional mix of materials. As part of the Vans Premium collection, it stays true to the clean proportions of the original while adding high-quality materials, refined details, and modern comfort updates. This creates a reinterpretation that elegantly blends heritage with contemporary design. The fluffy mohair upper with its lively texture shapes the sides and heel, while the dark blue toe box creates a striking contrast and draws attention to the front of the silhouette. The design is completed with premium suede and canvas overlays that harmoniously combine different material textures. Metal eyelets, crystal appliqués, frayed textile details, and the slightly waxed foxing add a handcrafted depth and emphasize its experimental character. Technically, the Premium Authentic 44 impresses with an updated build. The Sola Foam ADC (All-Day Comfort) insole, made from at least 30% bio-based PU foam and USDA certified, provides long-lasting cushioning and a comfortable feel. A refined fit, the higher foxing with a shiny finish, and the Foxing Tape inspired by the reinforced Osnaburg soles from the 90s pick up classic Vans details and reinterpret them in a modern way. The model is rounded off by the legendary vulcanized construction, the iconic waffle outsole, sturdy metal eyelets, and an extra pair of laces.
