Vans Sk8 Hi. When skaters wanted a high-top with more ankle protection, Vans developed its first reinforced padded high top skate shoe-- the Sk8-Hi. Flying out of pools at high speeds was taking a toll on kids' ankles, so the Sk8-Hi offered the best protection available. Suede/canvas high top including toe ventilation, classic Old Skool stripe and Vans' original Off the Wall outsole.
