The Platform Authentic takes everything you know about the original and lifts it up. A clean, low-profile upper stays true to the classic silhouette, while a bold 1.6” platform adds height and attitude without overcomplicating the look. Finished with signature foxing, waffle grip, and vulcanized construction, it’s unmistakably Authentic—just built to stand taller.
