Vans Sk8-Hi Reconstruct Shoe

HiiiPower.

Updating a classic. These Sk8-Hi crepes push the boundary with the suede and canvas upper with exposed stitching and DIY aesthetic. The soft foam midsole with padded collars, signature Jazz strip and broken foxing tape add the unexpected in the classic style. Signature rubber waffle outsoles keep you gripped and grounded.

The Sk8-Hi entered the sneaker world in `76 (just after Era`s launch) and took the streets by storm. After all, it had everything that the skateboarding fam was looking for in a shoe – more padding, better comfort, leather-and-canvas for durability, and most importantly, ankle protection. The mix of high-top, padded design with the famous `jazz stripe` or sidestripe quickly made Sk8-Hi popular among skaters. Since then, it has survived the test of time and continues to be the shoe of choice for many.

Gaining popularity as many of the skateboarding greats began wearing them, the rugged lace-up soon came to make up the vivid pop of colours seen on skate parks. Now available in every possible colour and combination, Vans adds personality to any ensemble.
