Create your own Elijah Sk8-Hi's with a full range of vintage tattoo inspired velcro-on patches. That's right, these kicks come with a pack of embroidered patches that can be arranged any way you want on the side panels.
Vans partnered with Elijah Berle to build a collection of Skate Classics that speaks to his passion for classic tattoo art, motorcycle culture, retro surf, and mid-century fashion. The repositioned Duracap reinforced underlays and fully redesigned uppers, combined with a new two-part foxing tape that features a deeper knurl pattern on the toe, make the Elijah Berle Skate Sk8-Hi Decon durable enough to withstand daily skateboarding abuse.
For more board control, the new molded heel counter and internal tongue straps lock in your feet. Even the gum rubber sole that made Vans famous has been elevated with the SickStick rubber compound to deliver more grip and boardfeel. Plus, Popcush energy return sockliners provide superior cushioning and impact protection while helping to lessen leg fatigue for longer skate sessions. Internal heel stiffeners have also been added to provide more support and stability. The new Elijah Berle Skate Sk8-Hi Decon's updated foxing tape, along with sturdy suede and a mix of 6 oz canvas and Velcro uppers, gives you the iconic look you want while bringing all the performance benefits skateboarders demand. And be sure to look for the new checkerboard flag on the side to guarantee that you're getting the best in style and modern skateboarding performance.
