Skate apparel brand Vans has released the 'Sk8-Hi Bolt,' a bold and electrifying version of its classic Sk8-Hi model. The shoe's most definitive feature is – as the name suggests – a large thunderbolt design that emerges from the front bumper of the shoe.
The Sk8-Hi Bolt comes in four colorways: yellow and black, black-on-black, white with gray accents, and checkered black and white. Like other Sk8-Hi models, these shoes are made from robust suede and canvas uppers, have reinforced toes and rubber waffle outsoles.
Eyecatching and exclusive, there's no doubt that the yellow and black colorway, referred to as the "Freesia" pair, will be a highly sought shoe for sneakerheads looking to add some old-school flair to their collections.
