In the early 1990s, skaters, seeking greater freedom of movement and flexibility, began cutting their high-top sneakers just above the ankles with scissors. The iconic SK8-Mid was introduced in response to skaters’ evolving needs, quickly becoming a classic.
The Premium Sk8-Mid 83 Shoes bring back retro details such as toe-cap stitching, a single-row ankle collar, a slimmer Sidestripe™, and glossier sidewalls.
- Full-grain leather lining on the inner collar
- Woven flag label
- Higher sidewall with glossy finish
