Starting with just three skateboards on the streets of Kabul in 2007, Skateistan has evolved into an award-winning, international non-governmental organization with the mission of empowering children and youth through skateboarding and education.
Partnering with Vans for a unique and uplifting collection, the Vans x Skateistan Toddler Sk8-Hi Zip features our iconic checkerboard print mixed with embroidery inspired by Skateistan’s mission. This high top shoe also includes suede and canvas uppers, supportive padded collars, signature rubber waffle outsoles, and a zipper entry at the heel for increased access and versatility.
Together, Vans, Skateistan, and YOU can make the world a better place through the power of skateboarding.
