By Editor • September 5, 2026 • 1 min read
In a quirky twist on sneaker design, Vans has unveiled a new model that seems to channel the vibes of Oscar the Grouch. The Mossy Authentic sneaker, clad in a vibrant swamp-green suede, stands out as a bold addition to the brand's lineup.
This unique sneaker, referred to as the "Black/Green" Authentic, features a textured upper that mimics the look of grass. Alongside its eco-inspired aesthetic, the shoe boasts classic Vans elements like a glossy high sidewall, rope lace detailing, and the iconic low-top silhouette. The waffle outsole and vulcanized structure ensure that this sneaker remains grounded in Vans’ rich heritage while bringing a fresh twist to the table.
Retailing at $90, the Mossy Authentic is available on the Vans website and offers an alternative in black and gold hues. While the connection to Sesame Street might be unofficial, the playful design certainly evokes a sense of whimsy reminiscent of the beloved characters.
