In the early ’90s, looking for more freedom and flexibility in their footwear, skaters had begun using household scissors to cut their high-tops closer to
the ankles. The iconic SK8-Mid was introduced as a direct response to skaters’ ever-evolving needs and soon became a classic.
The Premium Sk8-Mid 83 Shoes bring back the retro toebox stitch, a single-row collar, and a skinnier Sidestripe™ along with a higher glossed sidewall.
