Completely redesigned with skaters in mind, the all-new Skate Classics line delivers more of what skaters need to enable maximum progression.
Made with a fully revised upper, moulded heel counter, locked-in tongue straps, and a recut of the DURACAP underlay, the Skate Classics Sk8-Hi offers an essential fit that is more breathable and durable where skaters need it most.
The two-part foxing, featuring a tougher toe knurl, ensures heightened board contact, and the redesigned gum rubber sole that made Vans famous has been further elevated with the SICKSTICK rubber compound plus an internal heel shank to deliver more grip, more board feel, more support, and more durability.
Along with a new sidewall finish, POPCUSH sock liners for superior cushioning and impact protection, and a sleek checkerboard flag, the new Skate Classics Sk8-Hi gives you the iconic look you want—with all the performance benefits that real skaters demand. It is made with sturdy suede and canvas uppers.
