Vans introduced a new iteration of its signature Sk8-Hi sneaker silhouette entitled the 'Outside In.' The latest version boasts elements that turn the interior details to the exposed outer design. The flipped out sneakers showcase details that are found within the shoe including the size tag, now adorning the lateral area of the uppers and the tongue.
The details that are normally found at the exteriors line the shoe's interiors. Notably, the uppers are constructed from a blend of both leather and canvas materials in a mix of white and off-white hues, whereas the interiors are complete in hues of red and blue. The Sk8-Hi Outside In sneakers are now available for purchase online at Rock City Kids.
