Since first bursting onto the scene back in June of 2018, Vans’ Sk8-Hi Re-Issue silhouette has been one of the most intriguing creations to come out of the Anaheim-based brand’s camp. Revered for its on-trend deconstructed aesthetic, the mix-and-match version of the high-cut skate marvel bears a striking resemblance to industry heavy-hitting creations from Virgil Abloh and Nike. Now, the abstract take on a Vans staple has returned in an “Animal Pack” construction that ushers in patches of leopard fur, tiger stripes, and more, while also remastering the brand’s iconic checkerboard motif with the implementation of brown and black pony hair on its lateral and medial panelling. Each and every element of this Sk8-Hi’s upper comes adorned in a different array of animal fur, creating one of the most unique “Animal Pack” offerings on the market today. Certain overseas retailers have these Sk8-His in stock, so grab a detailed look below and stay tuned for updates regarding a Stateside drop.
