The high-top collar perfectly coincides with skinny jeans but jeans that would cover it would also do the trick. Men are going in shorts here, and women are flaunting this with skirts and dresses.

A design that stays true to its roots

Displaying different two-tone colorways, the Vans Anaheim FActory SK8-Hi 38 DX deviates from the original SK8-Hi. It also has a thinner lace bed overlay that extends up to the lateral side of the toe box as compared to the concurrent skate-specific iterations of the SK8-Hi.

Behind the creation of the Vans Anaheim Factory SK8-Hi 38 DX

Vans had introduced numerous versions of skate sneakers throughout its historical career. The high-top revamp of the Old Skool which is the SK8-Hi was one of these models. Both the SK8-Hi and the Old Skool display the famous Vans Sidestripe which would be carried on to other iterations through the years.

The Vans Anaheim Factory SK8-Hi 38 DX is an iteration that gives honor to the factory as well as the first accents of the SK8-Hi. Colorways also resemble the initial look of the coveted sneaker.
