Skaters in the 90s were looking for a sneaker that afforded more movement and had resorted to cutting their high-tops closer to the ankle. Enter the Vans SK8-Mid Sneaker, formerly known as Style 83. Retaining all the style and function of the SK8-Hi, this reissued mid-top has been taken to the archives to bring back the retro toebox stitch, single row collar and a slimmer Sidestripe. 8 oz. Canvas and Suede Uppers, Full Grain Leather Collar Lining, Gloss Finish High Sidewall, Patterned Outsole, Cotton Lace Up Closure, Iconic Slimmer Sidestripe™, Rubber Heel Logo, Vans. This shoe features elevated materials and cushioning for everyday wear. The iconic SK8-Mid was introduced as a direct response to skaters’ ever-evolving needs and soon became a classic. The Premium Sk8-Mid 83 Shoes bring back the retro toebox stitch, a single-row collar, and a skinnier Sidestripe™ along with a higher glossed sidewall.
