Vans Sk8-Mid Reissue 'Checkerboard/Black-True White' VN0A347UVGD

Vans Sk8-Mid Reissue — Style No. VN0A347UVGD

The Vans Sk8-Mid Reissue 'Checkerboard/Black-True White' is the Sk8-Hi's mid-cut sibling in Vans's most iconic pattern. The Checkerboard print has been synonymous with Vans since the 1970s — worn by skaters, punks, surfers, and anyone who understood that the best style doesn't ask for permission. The Sk8-Mid brings that heritage to a more versatile silhouette: more ankle support than a low-top, more wearability than a high-top.

Wear It With

Checkerboard is the pattern that works with everything because it's already doing everything. Pair with black denim and a white tee for the classic look, or let the pattern anchor a more colorful fit. The mid-cut silhouette adds ankle presence without the commitment of a full high-top — the sweet spot between casual and considered.
