The Sk8-Hi was introduced in 1978 as Style 38, and showcased the now-iconic Vans Sidestripe on a new, innovative high top silhouette. As only the second model featuring the recognizable marker formerly known as the “jazz stripe,” the Sk8-Hi brought a whole new look to the Vans family—and now the Sk8-Hi Bolt pushes the style even further. Featuring thunderbolt detailing along the eyelets and emerging from the front bumper, the Sk8-Hi Bolt brings an electric energy to a timeless favorite. This lace-up shoe is made with sturdy suede and canvas uppers, re-enforced toe caps, supportive padded collars, and signature rubber waffle outsoles.
