The Vans Sk8-Hi Supreme Diamond Plate Black, a collaboration between Vans and the Supreme skate and streetwear brand, reimagines a classic 1978 Vans silhouette to create this high-octane skate shoe.
The Supreme x Vans Sk8-Hi Diamond Plate Black features an upper of black and white canvas decorated with shapes inspired by industrial-themed slip-resistant steel plating. Black suede overlays cover the toebox, eyestays, and heel, providing enhanced support for this skating high-top. An undulating strip of white leather courses across the side panel and matches the flat white laces. The white vulcanized midsole rests on a gum rubber outsole with crosshatch tread for providing traction on the board.
One of the most delightful aspects of this sneaker are the hits of branding. Supreme branding appears in red on the license plate, blue on the side panel, and black on the interior tongue tag. The exterior tongue tag sports dual branding. The Vans Sk8-Hi Supreme Diamond Plate Black was released on May 9, 2019, or $110 retail.
