This Sk8 Hi sneaker boasts a timeless black and white colorway, evoking a throwback feel. Taking inspiration from old-school basketball shoes, the original 1978 model quickly gained popularity among skaters for its high-top design and excellent grip provided by its durable and sticky rubber outsole. Particularly favored on the West Coast, this ankle-saving structure and reliable board grip made the Sk8 Hi a beloved choice for skaters everywhere. Paying homage to the vision of Paul Van Doren, the founder of the company, is the wavy stripe leather detail prominently featured on the side of the shoe.
