Vans
The original skate-shoe company, Vans brought California's vivid skateboard subculture into fashion's mainstream. Founded in Anaheim in 1966, the company's iconic sneaker was an instant favorite among riders drawn to its sticky soles, durable construction and laid-back vibe. Now offering apparel and accessories in addition to shoes, Vans is synonymous with youth culture, music and action sports.

Well played Nordstrom...well played.
This Sk8 hi version is pretty sweet. It is all black and all suede uppers. The foxing is white with the black at the toe tip. They are feeling real nice on my feet compared to other Sk8 hi versions. The all suede upper is too sweet, and the inside of the shoe is different too. It is like a soft cloth instead of the black or white leathery stuff. It feels real nice. I am so glad I ordered two pair! I have not seen this version anywhere else and the price was too nice. I recommend two pair. I would of never seen this pair of shoes unless Nordstrom advertised it. Well played Nordstrom...well played.

Not even close to having premium features
I'm a fan of Vans for years but these were a total dissapointment. Wore these for a week and the soles started to bubble and eventually started peeling off. Better of buying regular sk8 Hi's.

A must have
My newest go-to high top. Comfortable, compliments almost any look. Highly recommend purchasing one size down from your normal fit.

Classic shoes
My son always gets vans. He is 14 and so about every 6 months we need to size up. We were getting the more cushion ones but these popped up first and he said yeah those. The Sk8-Hi is a classic and there are different color options. My kids only will wear black. They seem well made but we never hsve them for too long due to growth spurts

Vans High Top Black and White
Great looking color way (black and white) which I haven’t seen anywhere else. I always wear size 11 but these seem to run a little big but doubt I could go down a size.

Great shoes for a 12 year old
My 12 year old son was looking for some every day tennis shoes with a little bit of ankle support. He loves these shoes. They are lightweight and comfortable to wear. The high top style gives him enough support without being so heavy that they slow him down. The price is also extremely reasonable. The shoes come as small as a men's size 6, which is great for those boys who are somewhere in between kids' sizes and men's sizes.
