How to wear Vans Sk8 Hi

The Vans Sk8 hi is so revered in the streetwear world that countless companies have collaborated with the brand to work on this iconic shoe. Supreme, Stussy, Opening Ceremony, North Face and countless others have put their own spin on the classic sneaker and soon Jerry Lorenzo’s FoG will be collaborating on a Sk8 Hi.

It feels like I could just say that you could wear Sk8 his in any streetwear outfit and end the article there, but instead of just showing typical streetwear outfits, I’m going to show you some ways to wear sk8 his in a less traditional way.

In this picture, the shoes are paired with some baggy cargo pants with a heavy taper towards the ankle. This look suggests a very militant vibe; it feels as though it would be more suited to some combat boots in black or beige. But despite that fact, these all white sk8 his seem to fit the look very well.
