Vans Sk8-Hi MTE

Vans Sk8-Hi MTE: A Legend from the Californian Skatepark in a Waterproof Winter Coat

The iconic silhouette of the Vans Sk8-Hi has defined the style of the skate community for decades. The Vans Sk8-Hi MTE (Made For The Elements™) takes this legendary high-top design and equips it with advanced outdoor technologies. In the selection of Queens, the MTE represents the perfect transitional and winter model for those who do not wish to part with their beloved skate style, even in rain, mud, or snow.

Technological Features: Protection Against Cold, Moisture, and Slipping

The MTE collection completely transforms both the internal and external construction of the classic sneaker for demanding weather conditions:

  • Waterproof Upper Treatment (HydroGuard™ / MTE-1 / MTE-2): The upper made of premium leather or suede is treated with a waterproof membrane or water-repellent finish that prevents moisture from reaching the foot.
  • Primaloft® Thermal Insulation: Zone insulation made from microfibers provides thermal insulation comparable to down, while still keeping you warm in damp environments.
  • Reverse Waffle Outsole (MTE Lug Outsole): The iconic flat waffle outsole is reshaped into a rugged terrain pattern for maximum grip on icy and wet asphalt.
  • UltraCush™ / Molded EVA Insole: The molded foam insole guarantees shock absorption and all-day comfort while walking.

Who is the Vans Sk8-Hi MTE Designed For?

The Vans Sk8-Hi MTE is perfect for any streetwear enthusiast seeking functional winter footwear:

  • Skate & Streetwear Aficionados: An ideal choice for those who love classic Vans high-tops and do not want to switch to clunky winter boots during the colder months.
  • Urban Gorpcore and Outdoor: The rugged outsole and technical details fit seamlessly into the trend of functional urban clothing.
  • Everyday Movement from Autumn to Spring: A reliable companion for rainy days, dreary weather, and frosty morning commutes to school or work.

How to Style the Vans Sk8-Hi MTE on Queens?

With its high-top profile and reinforced construction, the MTE model easily combines with a layered wardrobe:

On Queens, we recommend pairing it with wide jeans or corduroy trousers that drape loosely over the collar of the shoe, or with durable cargo pants. Top it off with an oversized knitted sweater, a waterproof jacket, or a puffer coat. Discover the range of Vans Sk8-Hi MTE on Queens and step out into inclement weather in a model that maintains its skate style.

Materials

TechnologyPrimaloft®Primaloft®It is a synthetic fibre, originally developed for the US military, very popular in the production of outdoor clothing because of its ability to provide warmth, and thanks to its high water repellency, it excels in its thermal insulation capabilities.
UpperSuedeSuedeFine natural leather with a brushed finish that features a soft feel and elegant look. It offers good breathability and high wearing comfort, while gradually adapting to the shape of the foot. The material is both durable and flexible, ensuring comfort in everyday use. Suede is the ideal choice for footwear where the emphasis is on style, comfort and timeless design. / TextileTextileTextile uppers are a lightweight and highly breathable upper construction solution that uses woven or knitted structures of natural and synthetic fibres. This type of upper is valued in the footwear industry for its extraordinary ability to adapt to the shape of the foot, minimising the formation of blisters and ensuring high user comfort. Thanks to the porous structure of the material, textile uppers allow for efficient heat and moisture dissipation, which is crucial for maintaining an optimal microclimate even under increased physical stress. In addition, modern textile processing technologies allow reinforcement zones to be integrated directly into the knit, achieving an ideal balance between stability and flexibility.
FootbedULTRACUSH
SoleRubberRubberIt is one of the most widely used materials for the production of soles due to its high mechanical resistance and durability. The main advantage of rubber soles is their excellent grip (traction) on different types of surfaces, which minimises the risk of slipping. The material is naturally flexible, waterproof and effectively absorbs shocks during walking. Depending on the compound, the rubber can be either soft for better contact with the ground or hard for maximum abrasion resistance on rough terrain.
MaterialWater repellentWater repellentWater-repellent material is a functional textile treated with a special outer layer that prevents liquids from being absorbed into the fiber structure. Water simply beads up and rolls off the surface of the fabric. This material provides a reliable barrier against light rain and moisture, without compromising the garment's natural lightness or flexibility. It is a key element for modern windbreakers, transitional jackets, and sportswear designed for changeable weather.

The history of Vans sneakers is fascinating and full of interesting twists and turns. Vans was founded in 1966 as The Van Doren Rubber Company when Paul Van Doren and his partners opened the first shoe store in Anaheim, California. Vans boots were not designed for skateboarders, but for everyday customers who could choose from a variety of colors and designs. However, they soon became popular with local surfers and skaters who appreciated their comfort, durability and waffle sole that gave them better grip on the boards.

The first model Vans launched was the Authentic, which became an icon of skate culture. Ten years later came the Era, designed by famed skateboarder Tony Alva. These shoes had a padded collar and an improved sole for better stability. Other classic models were the Old Skool with the typical white stripe on the side, the Sk8-Hi with a high ankle section and the Slip-on with a simple laceless design. These shoes became part of subcultures such as punk, hardcore, grunge and others.

Vans emerged from financial difficulties during the 1980s and began to expand into other areas such as snowboarding, BMX, motocross and music. Vans also collaborated with various artists, musicians, athletes and brands on limited edition shoes. Today, Vans shoes are popular among people of different styles, interests and generations. Vans maintains its original spirit and is always looking for new ways to reach out to its fans.
