Half Cab’s origin
Vans' first signature skate shoe is the Vans Steve Caballero, released in 1988. Caballero, the former member of Stacey Peralta’s Bones Brigade, was tapped by Vans to wear the padded high-top Caballero shoe. As the first signature skate shoe, the Cab initially gained success with its superior cushioning and protection features for the feet.
Over the next few years, skaters who wanted more ankle flexibility in doing flip tricks began creating makeshift mid-tops. They slashed off the collar of the Caballero and sealed the trims with duct tape.
Such ingenuity led Steve and Vans back to the drawing table to develop the Half Cab, which would later be known as the “best skate shoe ever produced.” More design tweaks happened later on.
The legendary skater configured the mid-top with suede uppers with double stitching for enhanced durability, a vulcanized waffle outsole, and a padded collar. A Half-Cab branding replaced the Caballero patch at the side panel with an image of Steve Caballero performing the half-cab or backside trick.
The OG black colorway became a mainstay in the brand’s catalog after becoming an instant hit and a classic kick revered by the skating community up to this day. Soon, more colorways were added to the pack.
In 2005, Vans teamed up with another pro-skater, Scott Kane, for a second signature skate shoe, the Cab low or the low-top version. In 2007, VANS Zapatillas Old Skool Overt Plus Cc black multi marshmallow Men was released with professional skating in mind. The Half Cab Pro had an improved insole and outsole and upper using only premium materials and was often preferred by hard-core, competing skateboarders.
