New Never worn There is no box, so the price is adjusted. The Sk8-Hi was introduced in 1978 as Style 38 and showcased the now-iconic Vans Side stripe on a new, innovative, high-top silhouette. As only the second model featuring the recognizable marker formerly known as the “jazz stripe,” the Sk8-Hi brought a new look to the Vans family. Building on that first legendary high top, the Classic Sport Sk8-Hi features bright white suede and canvas uppers with a pop of color at the side stripes. This lace-up shoe includes re-enforced toe caps, supportive padded collars, and signature rubber waffle outsoles.
