Underneath sits the 44, the original \u003cstrong\u003eAuthentic\u003c\/strong\u003e, the 1966 template \u003cstrong\u003eVans\u003c\/strong\u003e now files under its Premium label, flagged by the \u003cstrong\u003eLX\u003c\/strong\u003e tag. The manufacturer's brief runs one line: a minimalist, tonal-on-tonal pair whose details don't go unnoticed. Here, the formula drops into the shadows and stays true to it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFlat, the long-nap suede reads anthracite grey. Under direct light it turns black. The nap is dense and slightly raised along the quarter and heel edges, which gives it a raw, almost worn-in finish. The laces follow the same logic: braided, fuzzy, with a satin sheen that catches the light in spots. The eyelets are black, the stitching stays tonal, and only the cream woven \u003cstrong\u003eVans\u003c\/strong\u003e label on the side lights up the upper, along with the natural canvas lining and the beige insole carrying a black Vans logo block. Down low, the black goes full strength: thick sidewalls with a glossy finish, a finely textured toe bumper, mold edges clearly readable at the heel, a cream Off The Wall tag against the dark midsole. The gap between the charcoal suede and the deep-black base is what structures the whole silhouette.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSola Foam ADC, short for All-Day Comfort, is a high-resilience polyurethane foam: after each footstrike it springs back instead of packing down. The manufacturer builds it with over 30% bio-based materials and a clear promise: comfort that holds up all day. The outsole is Waffle rubber, the brand's signature tread since 1966, here fully blacked out. Its tight grid bites on wet pavement and on a rail alike. On foot, the soft suede breaks in fast and molds to the shape without a drawn-out adjustment period.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCare Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\nDark suede forgives dust, but it keeps scuff marks, which leave lighter halos. Plan on a suede protector spray before the pair hits the street, and test it first on a hidden spot. After each wear, one pass with a suede brush in a single direction lifts the nap. Don't scrub hard: on a long nap you push the material around instead of cleaning it. If the pair gets caught in the rain, let it air-dry and re-brush.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the black look grey in some photos?\u003c\/strong\u003e That's the nature of this colorway. The long nap scatters light, so the charcoal tone shows when the shoe is flat-lit and turns black under direct light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the suede real?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the manufacturer lists natural leather, with a velvety suede upper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does Sola Foam ADC do?\u003c\/strong\u003e It's the pair's comfort foam: high-resilience polyurethane, made with over 30% bio-based materials, built for lasting comfort across the day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the pair vegan?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the upper is natural leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VANS","offers":[{"title":"35","offer_id":58641381327112,"sku":"VN000Z6REMV1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"36","offer_id":58641381359880,"sku":"VN000Z6REMV1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"36.5","offer_id":58641381392648,"sku":"VN000Z6REMV1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"37","offer_id":58641381425416,"sku":"VN000Z6REMV1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"38","offer_id":58641381458184,"sku":"VN000Z6REMV1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"38.5","offer_id":58641381490952,"sku":"VN000Z6REMV1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"39","offer_id":58641381523720,"sku":"VN000Z6REMV1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"40","offer_id":58641381556488,"sku":"VN000Z6REMV1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"40.5","offer_id":58641381589256,"sku":"VN000Z6REMV1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"41","offer_id":58641381622024,"sku":"VN000Z6REMV1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"42","offer_id":58641381654792,"sku":"VN000Z6REMV1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"42.5","offer_id":58641381687560,"sku":"VN000Z6REMV1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"43","offer_id":58641381720328,"sku":"VN000Z6REMV1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"44","offer_id":58641381753096,"sku":"VN000Z6REMV1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"44.5","offer_id":58641381785864,"sku":"VN000Z6REMV1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"45","offer_id":58641381818632,"sku":"VN000Z6REMV1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"46","offer_id":58641381851400,"sku":"VN000Z6REMV1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"47","offer_id":58641381884168,"sku":"VN000Z6REMV1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"48","offer_id":58641381916936,"sku":"VN000Z6REMV1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"49","offer_id":58641381949704,"sku":"VN000Z6REMV1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"50","offer_id":58641381982472,"sku":"VN000Z6REMV1","price":110.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/5700\/8392\/files\/vans-lx-authentic-44-hairy-suede-faded-black-side-profile.webp?v=1791470162","url":"https:\/\/empr.store\/en\/products\/shoes-vans-lx-authentic-44-hairy-suede-faded-black","provider":"EMPR.store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
