This season, the world's most iconic skateboarding shoe, the Vans Half Cab, celebrates its 25th anniversary. Released in 1992, the Half Cab represents an era of true innovation in footwear design. Created by street skaters in the early 1990s by cutting the high collar off the original Vans Caballero pro skate shoe, creating a lighter, faster, and better version than its predecessor, this iconic model signature Steve Caballero's Half Cab has stood the test of time as one of the favorite sneakers in the Vans Pro Skate line. The Half Cab has undeniably revolutionized the progression of performance in skateboarding, and continues to do so, remaining at the forefront of skateboarding footwear, a reason why Vans is recognized worldwide.
An icon without comparison, with more than 45 years as one of the most influential riders in the world, since his beginnings as part of the original Bones Brigade crew, in addition to his several decades of career as a pioneer in skateboarding, both in vert and street and bowl, Vans wants to pay tribute to the legend that is Steve Caballero with the launch of the Half Cab 25th Anniversary in two colors, classic black and gray.
Featuring a premium pigskin suede upper, silver accents, and an embroidered “XXV” on the heel as a commemorative touch to its 25th anniversary, these Half Cabs are equipped with Vans Pro Skate’s innovative features for enhanced performance. They feature ULTRACUSH HD insoles for enhanced support and advanced comfort, and a DURACAP inner lining in high-abrasion areas for durability and a consistent fit.
The Vans Half Cab 25th Anniversary is now available at authorized Vans Pro Skate retailers worldwide. Visit our website for more information on the latest Vans Pro Skate models.
