The Sk8-Hi has been a legend since the ’70s, and this edition takes things a step further—armoring this classic for the cold. Outfitted with a HydroGuard® 360º waterproof package and 100-gram Primaloft® insulation, it locks in warmth and keeps your feet dry when the forecast takes a turn. Underfoot, the new All-Trac outsole grips across wet sidewalks, icy trails, and everything in between—made with a mix of recycled and regeneratively grown rubber for extra eco cred. Add an Ultracush™ footbed into the mix, and you’ve got the same heritage hi-top look—just tougher, warmer, and ready for whatever winter throws at you.

Vans got its start in 1966 in a small Anaheim, CA factory attached to its first retail store. In that one-stop shop they dreamed up new models, figured out how to build them, and chatted with regulars about where to go next. If you’ve ever sworn by a pair of Vans, you know how the story went from there. From their origins as the first true skate shoe for 1960s pool-trespassing skaters to Spicoli donning checkered Vans in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, they’ve grown into a staple—a quintessential canvas, vulcanized sneaker. To give you the full picture, we stocked our shop with a mix of their newest technical, outdoor footwear, and classics based on those originals they made out of Anaheim in the ‘60s and early ‘70s.
