Vans and denim: An unlikely duo, sure, but a stunning one nonetheless. Denim is a regular fixture of the skatepark, but on feet?

Well, that's not as typical. But when has Vans ever played to convention?

Looking like it came straight from the wild, wild west (coast), Vans' denim Authentic 44 sneaker is a blue jean-clad thrasher that goes the distance.

Unlike other denim sneakers that keep things contained to the upper, the Authentic 44 is denim-ed up — all the way down.

From the upper to the sidewall, Vans' new denim darling is coated in blue jean goodness. Only thing better than denim? Double denim.

The denim upper also sports natural wear throughout, which gives the Authentic sneaker a lived-in appearance that will only look better over time.

Like it's cool now, but imagine it with some well-earned ollie-induced rips? Iconic. 

Available on the BILLY's website for $80, the denim Vans sneaker comes in a light and dark wash because variety is the spice of life — and the skatepark.

Vans has dabbled in the world of denim sneakers many times in the past. From indigo denim Old Skool sneakers to multi-patterned "jeakers", Vans knows its way around the old denim mill.

But this specific take on the doused-in-denim trend is certainly the most extensive iteration of Vans blue jean offerings.
