Introduced in 1978 as the Style 38, the Sk8-Hi shoe featured our now iconic Sidestripe on an innovative new high top silhouette. The second Sk8-Hi, featuring the famous pattern known at the time as the "jazz stripe", marked an aesthetic turning point in Vans history.
Paying homage to those legendary early hi-tops, the Sk8-Hi features a durable suede and canvas upper and comes in a variety of classic and unexpected colors. These lace-ups also feature a reinforced toe, padded collar for support and our signature rubber waffle sole.
