Vans is marking the 30th anniversary of its iconic Half Cab silhouette, originally designed for professional skater Steve Caballero, with a special winter-ready version. The new Half Cab ’92 GTX brings a fresh update to this classic shoe, now featuring a Gore-Tex lining for enhanced weather resistance.
The Half Cab, which debuted in 1992, became an instant classic and a key part of the Vans Skate lineup. The design stemmed from skaters’ modifications to the original Full Cab, which involved cutting the upper portion of the shoe for better flexibility during difficult tricks. Steve Caballero took note of these changes and worked with Vans to create a refined version that better suited the needs of skateboarders. The result is the Half Cab, a shoe that has since become a staple in the skateboarding world.
To commemorate its 30-year legacy, Vans has introduced a Gore-Tex version, making it more suitable for the colder months. The Half Cab ’92 GTX is equipped with a waterproof Gore-Tex lining, ensuring the shoes stay dry in harsh weather conditions. This special edition comes in a sleek black colorway, offering a durable, stylish option for skaters and sneaker enthusiasts alike.
