The Vans Checkerboard SK8-Hi: Stylin’ to the highest caliber

The sneaker’s look has been praised to no end. Its style has been described by wearers to be “badass” and “perfectly retro” in the way they “clash fantastically with everything.” A wearer even says that they are “Gr8 for sk8ing and even better for stunnin’.”

Its checkerboard design has been central to this, with a fan saying that it gives “an optical illusion quality” transforming the shoe into another eyecatcher.

In 1977, Vans introduced the Style 36 featuring a leather and canvas upper with a sticky rubber outsole. Many skaters loved this sturdy design suitable for their board flips and tricks. The Style 36 was introduced around the same time Era Vans Classic Slip On 98 DX.

SK8-Hi showcases well-celebrated features from its predecessor, the Old Skool. This model retained the signature waffle sole and the canvas-leather upper and the brand's logo, the jazz stripe. During the early days of Vans, shoes can be customized. People sometimes brought some fabric to the warehouse and had it turned into a sneaker. Meanwhile, some chose to doodle on the blank space of the high-top silhouette of the SK8-Hi. Many favored this model to be their canvas.

Various iterations molded from the SK8-Hi were launched in the market, which caters to multiple kinds of consumers. One is the Checkerboard SK8-Hi which features the same fundamentals as the SK8-Hi and is enhanced with an eccentric checkerboard print.
