It all began in 1978, when Paul Van Doren wanted to create a similar model to the iconic #36, known today as Vans Old Skool. His goal was to design a functional and high-top shoe that will suit all skateboarders and that will provide a whole new point of view. He succeeded and introduced a new model #38, known as Vans Sk8-Hi, which celebrates its 40th birthday this year! Of course he didn´t forget the legendary sidestripe. Celebrate with us and we´ll leave it to you to pick your style.

Technology
GORE-TEX®: GORE-TEX® membrane is known for its ability to provide waterproof, windproof and breathable performance. This technology utilizes microscopic pores that are small enough to prevent water from penetrating, yet large enough to allow body moisture to escape, ensuring wearing comfort.
Upper
Suede: leather cut from the back, while the fibers remain on the surface, suede is less prone to damage than nubuck.
