Vans Sk8-Low 'Year of the Horse

This specialized low-top sneaker reimagines the historic aesthetic of the legendary Sk8-Hi silhouette into a versatile and artistic low-cut frame. The upper is constructed from premium hairy suede panels on the toe box, eyestays, and heel, juxtaposed against a printed canvas midsection. This woven fabric showcases intricate watercolor horse silhouettes that wrap around the profile, celebrating traditional cultural artistry. Running through the pattern is the iconic leather jazz stripe, stitched flawlessly to match the vibrant detailing of the graphics. The front layout includes a classic lace-up closure system with wide cotton laces laced through unstructured eyelets, leading to a padded collar and tongue for elevated ankle comfort. Below, the thick, solid vulcanized rubber midsole is fully wrapped in a high gloss finish that adds a continuous structural baseline. Finally, the entire design is anchored by the heritage waffle-pattern rubber outsole for maximum grip and skate durability.
