Vans Og Sk8-Hi Lx (Frida Kahlo)

Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter whose works are now seen by scholars and the general public as some of the most important in the history of Mexico. Her most famous motifs, including a portrait of herself, can now be found immortalised on sneakers that are part of the Vault Vans x Frida Kahlo collection. The most popular sneakers, the Sk8-Hi, Authentic and Slip-On, have been redesigned. Explore the Vans x Frida Kahlo collection and light up the streets with limited edition sneakers that carry a piece of the genius of one of history's greatest painters!

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.
