From the brand: Low to the ground and high on heritage. The
LX Authentic 44
in
Checkerboard Asphalt
leans into Vans’ legacy with one of its most iconic prints — the checkerboard — this time washed in grayscale tones that feel equal parts utilitarian and art school.
The
Asphalt
colorway plays it cool: a smoky mix of slate and off-white that gives depth without being loud. It’s the kind of muted statement that slots in easily, whether you’re dressing it up with structured pieces or keeping it easy with worn-in staples. Vault’s upgraded construction means better canvas, more thoughtful finishing, and that same grippy waffle sole underfoot.
Style it with black cropped trousers and a clean white tee for contrast, or wear it with raw denim and a hoodie for an understated uniform — the grayscale palette plays well with everything.
Fits true to size.
Sizing is in US Men's.
