Originally known as the Vans Steve Caballero, the Skate Half Cab was Vans' first signature skate shoe. It launched in 1988 with all the performance benefits skateboarders demand, including unparalleled grip and durable vulcanized construction. It went on to become one of the most iconic and culturally significant shoes in the history of skateboarding. Inspired by skateboarding's history of subverting the luxury space with adapted premium details, the Premium Half Cab Shoe reinvents one of our greatest icons for a progressive twist on an all-time classic.
