From Vans website: The Sk8-Hi Tapered Stackform refreshes our deconstructed high top silhouette with an even chunkier take on the platform aesthetic. Constructed with a 34 mm sidewall height, this platform shoe elevates a legendary favorite while bringing a new “Off The Wall” style to your look. Along with traditional suede and textile uppers, the Sk8-Hi Tapered Stackform highlights a more slender and fitted silhouette than the traditional Sk8-Hi. It is finished with signature rubber waffle outsoles. • Vans’ legendary high top shoe redesigned with a more slender silhouette • Upgraded with a 34 mm platform height • Deconstructed suede and textile uppers • Lace-up closure • Signature rubber waffle outsoles
