The Vans Eco Theory Sk8-Hi has been designed with durability in mind in every part of the shoe. From the organically grown cotton canvas upper to the newly developed eco-rubber outsole designed to remove 100% of the petroleum-based rubber and replace it with natural rubber, while maintaining the grip and durability that Vans have known since 1966 about state.

The Eco Theory Sk8-Hi updates the original hi sneaker from Vans with eco-friendly materials and techniques you can feel good about.

This iconic sidestripe shoe also features a deconstructed upper for a slimmer, more snug fit, metal eyelets and renewable hemp laces.

ORGANIC GROWTH COTTON CANVAS

Our organic cotton canvas is GOTS certified (Global Organic Textile Standard) and is made from natural seeds, without pesticides or harmful chemicals.

LACES OF HEMP

This natural fiber is durable, anti-microbial and regulates moisture. This crop requires less water and space to grow, is resistant to pesticides and removes metals from the soil.

NEW NATURAL RUBBER COMPOSITION

The outsole is made from an all-new responsibly sourced natural rubber instead of petroleum-derived rubber, sourced from tree nurseries that follow ethical and sustainable practices to minimize damage to the ecosystem. The outsole is designed to maintain the grip and durability that Vans is known for.
