The all new Skate Classics line: extra strong interior design for skateboarding

Completely redesigned for modern skateboarding, the all-new Skate Classics range offers even more to empower skateboarders to achieve their peak performance.

Repositioned DURACAP ™ reinforcements, a completely redesigned upper and the new two-piece reinforcement band including a deeper fluted toe, this is what makes the new Skate Sk8-Hi capable of withstanding everyday skateboarding. For better board control, a new molded heel counter and interior tongue straps provide support for your feet. Even the rubber compound sole that made Vans famous has been enhanced with the SICKSTICK ™ rubber compound to provide more grip and feel on the board. Plus, the POPCUSH ™ footbed provides energy return for superior cushioning and impact protection, while helping to reduce leg fatigue for longer skate sessions. A heel shank has also been added to provide more support and stability.

The new Skate Sk8-Hi's advanced reinforcing tape and sturdy canvas suede and canvas upper give you the iconic look you want, along with the performance perks that the biggest skaters demand. Look for the stylish new checkered flag on the sidewall to make sure you get the very best in modern style and skateboarding.
