The Vans Authentic 44 Deck LX takes the Authentic silhouette and applies deck shoe detailing — a siped rubber outsole for grip on wet surfaces, a reinforced toe bumper, and a slightly higher sidewall with a gloss finish. The canvas upper keeps it light; the ADC foam insole makes it more comfortable than the standard build for longer days.

Bordeaux Red is a deep, wine-toned colourway — richer and more considered than a standard red, and one of the stronger colour choices in the Premium LX range.
