The Sk8-Hi was introduced in 1978 as Style 38, and showcased the now-iconic Vans Sidestripe on a new, innovative high top silhouette. As only the second model featuring the recognizable marker formerly known as the “jazz stripe,” the Sk8-Hi brought a whole new look to the Vans family.

Honoring that first legendary high top, the Sk8-Hi is made with sturdy suede and canvas uppers using sPACYcLOUd art work called Amster Morgan which was inspired by Amsterdam and Haight Ashbury of San Francisco. Art work is by Nathaniel Schellhase Hvizdos aka @natetwostars.

This lace-up shoe also includes re-enforced toe caps, supportive padded collars, and signature rubber waffle outsoles.
