The Sk8-Hi, originally called Style 38, was introduced in 1978 as the premiere high top skate shoe. Introducing an innovative high padded collar for ankle support and a reinforced toe box, it was the second shoe to feature the iconic Vans Sidestripe™ while simultaneously bringing a whole new look to the Vans family. It was and still is an emblem of “Off The Wall” culture. Honoring that first legendary high top, the Color Block Sk8-Hi is made with color blocked suede and canvas uppers. This lace-up shoe also comes equipped with signature rubber waffle outsoles for reliable, everyday grip. • Vans’ legendary high top, Sidestripe™ shoe • Durable suede and canvas uppers • Lace-up closure • Reinforced toe caps • Supportive padded collars • Signature rubber waffle outsoles
