This year will mark the 50th Anniversary of Vans, quite an achievement for the California skate-shoe company. Aside form being at the forefront in providing the action sports community with sneakers, Vans have also integrated themselves into mainstream culture. To celebrate this big year Vans will be going in hard with all kinds of special releases and collaborations and it all kicks off with the Sk8-Hi.

Coming in both men’s and women’s sizes the 50-strong range will also include original models plus updated versions such as the Vans Sk8-Hi Zip.
