Vans x Taka Hayashi Sk8-Hi LX

Taka Hayashi is to Vans what Raf Simons is to adidas. When a truck rolls out of a California factory with something exclusive, it's almost a given that Taka has a hand in it. Dozens of collaborations with the Japanese designer always have a common foundation, which is Vault by Vans silhouettes characterised by the best possible craftsmanship. Indulge in the best of Vans, and in collaboration with the man who has taken Vans to heart!

It all started in 1978, when Paul Van Doren wanted to create a counterpart to the iconic #36, now known as the Vans Old Skool. His goal was to design a functional and tall shoe that would suit all skaters and give them a whole new look. He succeeded and introduced us to the new model #38, simultaneously known as the Vans Sk8-Hi, which has already celebrated its 40th birthday! Of course, he didn't forget about the legendary sidestripe.

You can find the Vans Sk8-Hi in today's and the aforementioned OG version 38at Footshop . In both men's and women's options, black and white, and lots of other styles.
