Skate culture rhymes with the Vans Sk8-Hi, a model born in 1976 and originally named Style 38, featuring the signature Vans side stripe which was formerly known as the 'jazz stripe'. Represented in a black colorway, the Sk8-Hi defined an entire era. This sneaker features a canvas upper, suede overlays, a pre-worn look, a vulcanized midsole, high foxing tape, and a waffle rubber sole.
