Even Vans' most rugged shredder isn't immune to the power of some good jewelry. The Authentic 44 sneaker is already in a class of its own when it comes to regal skate shoes, but with the help of some well-placed jewels, the shoe becomes the literal manifestation of a gem.

Of course, it helps that the "Gemstone" Premium LX Authentic 44 sneaker comes from Vans Premium, the skatehouse's elevated line of all of its classics.

This time, the Authentic 44 is offered in a duo of colorways that wear a suede upper with various silver studs at the toe box and two turquoise gems, bringing a hint of western charm to the elevated skate shoe.

As of late, bling has been the name of the game for Vans when it comes to elevating its beefy arsenal of trusted shredders.

And when it comes to bejeweling its shred-happy sneakers, Vans has serious range.

There's just something so delightfully paradoxical about seeing these shoes, designed to shred, thrash, and tear, get dressed up in dainty jewels and shiny accents.

Available soon on the Vans' website, the Authentic 44 joins a well-studded lineup of iced-out Vans sneakers that look better suited for a jewelry store than a skatepark.

From hand-beaded pearl uppers to SZA's bespoke diamond-topped Vans, Vans has no problem putting real gemstones on its rugged skate shoes, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down these blingy pursuits anytime soon.
