Vans celebrates its iconic Sidestripe with a look back at the Sk8-Hi silhouette and expanded the offer of this high-top. This silhouette was introduced in 1978 and is one of the first shoe to don the Sidestripe. Fall 2014 of Vans Classics honors the Sidestripe’s heritage with the largest range of Sk8-Hi colorways to date. For men, the Sk8-Hi’s form is revisited for several vintage-styled variations with upgraded materials. The Sk8-Hi also serves as a key model in this season’s collaborations with a vibrant Yoda Aloha-printed rendition in the Vans x Star WarsTM collection alongside a premium micro-floral iteration in the Vans x Liberty Art Fabrics footwear capsule. On the women’s side, the Sk8-Hi has been modified for slimmed-down, fashion-forward takes on the Sk8-Hi Slim and Sk8-Hi Slim Zip and edgy executions of the Sk8-Hi Platform, made exclusively in female sizing.
The shoes are already available in Vans retail stores.
