The Sk8-Hi, originally called Style 38, was introduced in 1978 as the premiere high top skate shoe. Introducing an innovative high padded collar for ankle support and a reinforced toe box, it was the second shoe to feature the iconic Vans sidestripe while simultaneously bringing a whole new look to the Vans family. It was and still is an emblem of “Off The Wall” culture.
Building on that first legendary high top, the Monogram Sk8-Hi features sturdy suede and canvas uppers with a unique take on the checkerboard print. This lace-up shoe also comes equipped with signature rubber waffle outsoles for reliable, everyday grip.
A brand new ComfyCush™ rubber outsole keeps the iconic look of our Vans waffle sole while amping up the comfort level even more. Add in materials that allow airflow for breathability and increased foam on the tongue and collar for added support and comfort, and you’ll be ready to relax even when you’re on the go. Because the more comfortable you are, the more creative and confident you are, and the better off your day will be.
