The Vans Sk8-Hi, originally known as Style 38, was introduced in 1978 and became iconic for its distinctive Sidestripe. This high-top silhouette brought a fresh look to the Vans family, being only the second model to feature the recognizable "jazz stripe." The Sk8-Hi is crafted with durable canvas uppers, available in a range of classic and unique colorways. Designed for comfort and support, this lace-up shoe includes reinforced toe caps, padded collars, and the signature Vans rubber waffle outsole. It's a lifestyle essential, embodying the original icon.
