Part of the Vans x SpongeBob collaboration launched in February 2018, this grade school version of the Sk8-Hi Zip LX features Vans' iconic checkerboard design with a playful twist. The canvas side panels showcase the pattern, with SpongeBob's miniature likeness adorning the white squares. The tongue, vamp, and heel panel are made of black suede with contrasting white stitching, while the laces, side leather stripe, and rubber midsole offer a striking contrast in white. The back zipper closure ensures easy on and off. Adding a fun touch, a Plankton graphic is visible on the waffle outsole.
