Vans Celebrates 50th Anniversary With 50 Colors Of Sk8-Hi Sneaker

If you’re a devoted wearer of the Vans Sk8-Hi, we’ve got good news: You’ll now have 50 more colors to choose from. The athletic brand is releasing 50 colors of the sneaker in celebration of its 50th anniversary, which it will mark in March.

Originally released in 1977 as “Style 38,” the Sk8-Hi was the first high-top offered by Vans. Since then, the style has skyrocketed to icon status, including collaborations with Disney and partnerships with The North Face.

The women’s collection includes new canvas colors, blush-tone leathers and playful prints, such as bananas or flowers.
