The Vans Sk8-Mid Reissue 83 LX 'Checkerboard - Black' VN000CQQ2BO offers elevated wear with premium materials and cushioning. Originally introduced as a response to skaters' needs for more freedom and flexibility, the iconic SK8-Mid became a classic. This version brings back retro design elements like the toebox stitch, a single-row collar, and a skinnier Sidestripe™, along with a higher glossed sidewall.
