Skate Sk8-Hi Trainers/Skate Shoes

About the Vans Skate Sk8 - Hi

The Skate Sk8-Hi is based of the timeless classic of the first skate shoe built for skateboarding. Today the original Sk8-Hi is still widely regarded as one of the best skate shoes ever, and now has a huge cult following on the streetwear scene.

The upper is made from suede/canvas with padded collars for extra support, a new sidewall finish and checkerboard flag for an iconic style that skaters will definitely appreciate. The new DURACAP reinforcement rubber shape has been revised to offer improved breathability and durability to help protect against wear and tear, making these shoes perfect for everyday use.

Now fitted with a PopCush footbed to provide extra cushioning for supreme comfort and impact absorption, adding that extra energised pop you need when skateboarding. The two-part foxing, featuring a tougher toe knurl pattern, ensures heightened board contact, improved durability and of course retain that heritage look.

The gum rubber sole has been completely redesigned for an even better grip with the all-new SickStick rubber compound. The new SickStick rubber outsole has vertical thread extensions for sharper rubber edges and increased tread depth, this will extend the life of the shoes for longer wear and powerful grip. The Skate Sk8-Hi also features tongue straps to keep the tongue in place for a locked-in fit and the internal heel shank delivers even more grip, more board-feel, more support, and more durability!
