The Sk8 Hi Cup LX is now available in a luxurious grey suede material, exuding a premium feel. It features an innovative adjustable wrap-around strap at the ankle, adding a touch of personalization to the iconic design. Originally introduced in 1978, the Sk8 Hi was born out of Vans' genius idea to combine the support of popular basketball sneakers with the functionality of skate shoes, ensuring superior ankle protection. Over the years, the Sk8 Hi has effortlessly evolved alongside changing fashion trends, while staying true to its original purpose. This particular version showcases a stylish touch with metallic octagonal eyelets and meticulously hand-stitched side stripe branding.
