Founded on the principles of exploration and friendship, Opening Ceremony celebrates the unique and diverse perspectives of people and countries around the world. For decades, founders and best friends Humberto Leon and Carol Lim have made an impact on culture far beyond the fashion world. They continue to push boundaries with the Vans x Opening Ceremony Authentic, which honors that endless pursuit of creative expression. Made with sturdy canvas uppers featuring snake and checkerboard prints, this classic low-top shoe also includes Vans’ signature rubber waffle outsoles.
