The SK8-Hi was introduced in 1978 as the Style 38 and showcases the now iconic Vans Sidestripe in a new, innovative high-top style. The SK8-Hi is the second model with a recognizable marking, formerly known as "jazz stripes", giving the Vans family a whole new look. Paying homage to the first legendary high-top, the Pig Suede SK8-Hi features a sturdy suede upper in a variety of classic and unexpected color schemes. These lace-up shoes also include a reinforced toe, a supportive padded collar and a signature rubber waffle outsole.
