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. Building on that first legendary high top, the Shadow Vans Sk8-Hi features sturdy suede and canvas uppers with a subtle logo print. This lace-up shoe also includes re-enforced toe caps, supportive padded collars, and signature rubber waffle outsoles.
