For a number of wearers, they prefer the Sk8-Mid Reissue over the original model because the foot entry is easier. Reinforced toe caps sustain a good amount of wear and tear. Durability is also expected because of the trademark rubber waffle outsole.
History of the VANS 3 Mm Surf Boot 2 sting Ray Black Men
Initially labelled as Style 38, the Vans Sk8-Hi was first made available to consumers in 1978. This footwear was the second sneaker by Vans to feature the “jazz stripe,” which later became the famous Sidestripe, the brand’s most recognizable trademark.
The Sk8-Hi is the first skate footwear from the company that has a high-top construction. Because of the ankle support that the high-top profile offers, it became among the most favored shoes by skaters.
The 90s is the decade where the popularity of the Sk8-Hi was at an all-time high. A considerable quantity of collaborations and versions have been released that cater to different subcultures. Recently, a notable number of rider athletes have endorsed the Sk8-Hi as their go-to sneakers, which further helped its popularity.
Despite its years of availability, the Sk8-Hi remains among the most famous products by Vans. With over 100 collaborations released, it is without a doubt that it became one of the fixtures in the lifestyle and skater category. Among its most recent versions is the Vans Sk8-Mid Reissue, which is a mid-top silhouette that is offered in multiple color options.
