History of the vans SK8-HI Checkerboard Old Skool Lite
The vans SK8-HI Checkerboard Old Skool Lite is a throwback style of the relic skate model by Vans that initially turned up on the surf-and-skate scene of South California in 1977.
Initially called the vans SK8-HI Style 36 before it was rebranded as the Old Skool, this skate-rooted sneaker was conceived out of a fancy doodle by Paul Van Doren that bore a curvy strip of leather on the outer panels of the shoe.
One of the retro renditions of this much-sought legend is the vans SK8-HI x Simpsons Mens Socks Lite. This variety is made with a strong retro fever in a wholly toned-down form.
At the same time, it is symbolic of the 1970s birth era of the Old Skool, which is also a similar period when vans SK8-HI first played up with the checkerboard motif.
