Introducing the Vans Sk8 Hi
The Vans Sk8-Hi, introduced in 1978 as Style #38, marked a breakthrough in skateboarding footwear. As the brand’s first high-top design, it delivered essential ankle support and protection for skaters (especially during aerial tricks) addressing the limitations of low-cut sneakers. Featuring Vans’ signature waffle outsole and durable suede-and-canvas construction, the Sk8-Hi combined performance with toughness, securing its place as a skate culture staple.
More than just functional, the Sk8-Hi quickly became a medium for self-expression. Its bold silhouette and edgy style resonated with punk musicians, BMX riders, and streetwear enthusiasts alike. Over the years, it has been reinterpreted through countless colorways and collaborations with partners like Supreme, Fear of God, Marvel, and The Simpsons.
Today, the Sk8-Hi stands as both a skateboarding icon and a cultural mainstay, celebrated for its versatility, comfort, and timeless appeal.
