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.

Textile: The textile upper of the sneakers is lightweight, breathable and comfortable, ideal for everyday wear and sports. It ensures air circulation, keeps feet fresh and adapts to their shape. Often complemented with synthetic or rubber details for durability and support.
Wafer: The legendary sole that will never lose touch with the surface. It is especially typical for Vans sneakers.
Van Doren Rubber Co. was founded in 1966 by Paul Van Doren in Anaheim, California. The brand’s unique journey began when Paul experimented with molding soles on a classic waffle maker—an unconventional idea at the time that has since become a cornerstone of modern footwear. At Footshop, we offer a wide range of Vans apparel, sneakers, and accessories for men, women, and children in a variety of styles and colors.
