The definitive Vans Sk8-Hi shoe is a wardrobe staple due to its durability, wearability and comfort factor. The original lace-up high-top is reimagined by SOPHNET. in the new Vans Sk8-Hi Zip Up which manages to put a modern twist on a classic without changing the fundamentals of what made this shoe quintessential in the first place. Set for release on December 6, it has a navy cotton canvas upper with calf suede details, the signature waffle outsole and the addition of a zipper entry point at the heel. This update sees a fan favorite that retains the appeal of the original but just makes them easier to get on before running out the door. The SOHNET. x Vans Sk8-Hi Zip Up will be available this Saturday, December 6 for ¥13,000 JPY (approximately $108 USD).
