As Go Skateboarding Day approaches, sneaker brands are gearing up to celebrate the occasion with some special releases. This year, Vans and Parra have teamed up for a vibrant and dynamic edition of the Half-Cab, ready to drop in time for the festivities.
Go Skateboarding Day, which started in 2003, was created by the International Association of Skateboard Companies (IASC) to celebrate skateboarding and bring skaters together from around the world. Since its inception, major skate brands have joined in, holding events and contributing gear to make the day even more memorable. Vans, a long-time supporter, has partnered with Amsterdam-based artist Piet Parra for a special release this year to commemorate the occasion.
Parra, known for his clothing label ByParra, has made a significant mark on skate fashion with his bold graphics and relaxed, comfortable fits. His colorful, distinctive style has made waves in the skate scene, and this year’s collaboration with Vans adds to his already impressive list of partnerships. For the “Go Skate” release, Parra and Vans have reimagined the classic Half-Cab, featuring an all-suede upper with a unique color palette. The forefoot and mudguard panels come in a clean white, while the midfoot and collar areas are dressed in collegiate blue, green, and red. The wavy edges of the suede panels mirror the design style Parra used in his recent Nike AM1 collaborations, while hand-drawn Half-Cab labels by Parra himself add a personal touch.
