High Tops. Low Drag.

The Vans Authentic Hi 2.0 takes one of the most iconic silhouettes ever made and gives it a little more altitude. Built on the DNA of the original Authentic, this updated high-top version adds extra ankle coverage and support while keeping everything that made the classic a legend in the first place.

The deconstructed upper keeps the fit lightweight and flexible, ditching unnecessary bulk without sacrificing durability. Whether you're navigating city streets, traveling light, spending long days on your feet, or simply refusing to wear hiking boots for things that technically qualify as hiking, the Authentic Hi 2.0 is ready to put in the work.

Underfoot, Vans' legendary vulcanized construction delivers that board-feel-inspired flexibility and comfort that’s been trusted since 1966. The signature waffle outsole provides dependable traction across pavement, dirt, concrete, and the occasional questionable life decision.

Material options vary by colorway, with rugged duck canvas and suede construction on the Balsam Green version and premium pig suede paired with canvas on the Black/Black and Vintage Cocoa models. The result is a versatile high-top that looks equally at home on a road trip, at a concert, around a campfire, or kicking around town.

Classic heritage. Extra coverage. Same legendary grip.
