Vans SK8-Hi Reissue 38 (Black / White)

No question, the Vans Sk8-Hi is a true legend! Unlike many hyped footwear designs that have seen highs and lows depending on the mood of fashion, the Sk8-Hi has consistently stayed out of the mainstream and only traveled in the circles that truly appreciated these smart kicks. This sleek Vans high-top was first seen on the feet of skateboarders in 1978 and has since been regarded as the toughest footwear ever created for skateboarding. Shortly afterwards, perhaps the most famous of all Vans sneakers found its way into subculture scenes and triggered a wave of enthusiasm - from then on, the Sk8-Hi was constantly featured on the covers of various punk rock, hardcore, garage and hip-hop records. What's really astonishing is the fact that this shoe has basically remained unchanged for over 30 years, which can only mean that Vans once again had the right nose when the Sk8-Hi was designed...

The features of the Vans Sk8-Hi Reissue 38 include:

• canvas and suede upper
• tonal stitching
• signature stripe appliqués on side panels
• synthetic leather lining
• slightly padded collar

• Vans OTW skateboard woven label at the tongue
