The Sk8-Hi was introduced in 1978 as Style 38 and featured the now-iconic Vans sidestripe on an innovative new high-top model. The second model to feature this distinctive trait, formerly known as the "jazz stripe", the Sk8-Hi brought a completely new look to the Vans family. Inspired by the first legendary high-top sneaker, the Sk8-Hi features sturdy suede and canvas uppers in a variety of classic and unexpected colourways. These lace-up shoes also feature reinforced toe caps, supportive padded collars, and signature rubber waffle outsoles.
