The Sk8-Hi, originally called Style 38, was introduced in 1978 as the premiere high top skate shoe.
Introducing an innovative high padded collar for ankle support and a reinforced toe box, it was the second shoe to feature the iconic Vans Sidestripe™ while simultaneously bringing a whole new look to the Vans family.
It was and still is an emblem of Off The Wall culture.
Honoring that first legendary high top, the Color Block Sk8-Hi is made with color blocked suede and canvas uppers.
This lace-up shoe also comes equipped with signature rubber waffle outsoles for reliable, everyday grip.
