Overview
The Vans Sk8-Hi added a padded high collar to the Old Skool's build in 1978, giving skaters ankle support without losing board feel. The Sidestripe, waffle outsole and reinforced suede panels all carry over.
Description
This is the Pushead colourway of the Metallica x Vans Sk8-Hi. It comes from the Metallica collaboration — a limited release rather than a general-line product, produced in smaller numbers and not repeated. It released on 26 July 2021. The palette makes it an easy everyday option rather than a piece you have to plan an outfit around. Sourced brand new and authenticated, and shipped from New Zealand with free delivery on orders over $350.
