The Sk8-Hi was introduced in 1978 as the Style 38 and showcases the now iconic Vans Sidestripe with an innovative new high-top sneaker silhouette. The second model to feature the unmistakable emblem formerly known as the “jazz stripe”, these shoes brought a totally new look to the Vans family designs. Featuring sturdy suede and canvas uppers, the Sk8-Hi sneakers pay homage to the brand's first high-top sneakers and are available in a variety of colors, both classic and new. These lace-up sneakers also feature a reinforced toe, padded collars for added support, and the signature rubber waffle outsole.
