The Vans Sk8-Hi, also known as Style 38, has undergone numerous changes since its introduction in 1978. In the Sk8-Hi Platform Studded Black sneaker, Vans retains the iconic silhouette of the shoe but adds a distinctive twist to its design. The upper of the shoe features a ribbed textile material and is adorned with the brand's trademark sidestripes, enhanced further by striking gold spiked studs. The shoe also incorporates a platform version of Vans' well-known vulcanized outsole, providing both style and comfort.
