VANS' classic high-top sneakers
| Released in 1978 under the name "Style 38", these sneakers quickly became popular and spearheaded the high-top sneaker revolution in the industry. They are now a classic model, beloved for many years as the SK8-HI. The upper material uses two types: suede and canvas, and it features reinforced toes and a padded collar for a tough finish. |
Side
| The wavy side stripe, a design synonymous with VANS, is also known as the Jazz Stripe. It was designed with inspiration from a casual "doodle" by founder Paul Van Doren. |
Sole
| The rubber waffle sole has been used since VANS was founded in 1966. It got its name because it's made by pouring rubber into a grid-like mold, just like a waffle. It boasts excellent grip, making it stable and non-slip even on a skateboard, and you can rest assured when going out on rainy days. |
Heel
| The heel features VANS' familiar red logo with "OFF THE WALL" engraved on a skateboard. While "OFF THE WALL" literally translates to "away from the wall", in the context of VANS, it refers to an American slang term meaning "unconventional" or "maverick". In the 1970s, when VANS sponsored the Z-BOYS skater group, legendary Z-BOYS skater Tony Alva performed a trick where he flew out of a pool from the side wall. The owner of the Z-BOYS reportedly shouted "OFF THE WALL! (You're unconventional!)" in praise, and this became an iconic phrase in skater culture. At the time, VANS also had an unconventional business style where everything was custom-made, so "OFF THE WALL" was established as the brand's catchphrase and has continued to be used in its logos and product names to this day. |

Wearing image
| To best showcase the side stripe and high-top silhouette, we recommend pairing them with pants that don't bunch up at the hem, and a slight roll-up is also a good idea. Even with voluminous pants, the high-top style will firmly tighten up your feet.
