Emerica Spanky Hi Top Shoes – Black/Tan 10uk

The Spanky Hi takes everything skaters love about Kevin “Spanky” Long’s low-top and raises the collar for more support; more protection; and a fresh silhouette. It’s a true high-top skate shoe; offering extra padding around the ankle for stability on landings and defense against board hits; while still maintaining the clean; slim profile Spanky is known for.
High Collar; Same Skate-Ready Feel
Though the Spanky Hi features a taller upper; the underfoot construction stays true to the original: cupsole with a pour-in G6 polyurethane midsole for responsive cushioning and reliable impact absorption. A full-length EVA layer works alongside the G6 foam; offering a consistent feel from heel to toe – no stiff toe box; no dead zones; just smooth boardfeel and comfort.
Reinforced to Handle the Height
Knowing that a high-top adds more strain to seams and panels; Emerica built the Spanky Hi with double-stitched reinforcement throughout; ensuring it stands up to repeated skate sessions. The materials are often suede or a rugged suede/canvas blend; and the construction focuses on durability without bulk; keeping the shoe light and responsive despite the added height.
Slimmed-Down Look; Locked-In Fit
The Spanky Hi might rise above the ankle; but it’s far from puffy. The streamlined silhouette reflects Spanky’s preference for understated design; with tongue stabilizer straps inside to keep your foot secure and the tongue in place – essential for a snug fit in a high-top model.
Retro Look; Modern Tech
With its simple lines and minimal branding; the Spanky Hi echoes 90s skate shoes in style; but hides modern skate tech inside. It’s built for those who like the flick and board control of the Spanky G6 but want a little more confidence when jumping into bigger tricks or taking hits around the ankle.
The Spanky Hi is the natural extension of Spanky’s signature line – elevated in cut; not compromised in performance. It’s a stylish; supportive option for skaters who want the look and feel of a classic; with a little extra coverage where it counts.
