The introduction of the Vans Sk8-Hi in 1978 marked a significant milestone in enhancing skate functionality. With its iconic design elements, the 'Patch' version of this shoe features a canvas upper adorned with a checkerboard pattern, which is partially concealed by an 'Off the Wall' applique and the signature sidestripe. Retaining a vintage aesthetic, this version includes classic tongue and heel logos as well as suede trim. Staying true to the brand aesthetic, it is equipped with contrast foxing tape, a vulcanized midsole, and a Waffle outsole for optimum performance.
