Press Release
VANS releases Half Cab Limited Edition Shoes to mark 20th Anniversary
Toronto, ON (February
1, 2012): After 46 years as being
one of the main providers of extreme sportswear gear for skateboarders, Vans
will be releasing a limited edition of their most legendary shoes, the Half Cab
to commemorate its 20th anniversary throughout the course of the
year. Vans stands for the heart of skate culture and by releasing their most
popular shoe, it symbolizes their commitment to collaborating with one of the
greatest pro skater in history, Steve Caballero.
The Half Cab, named after professional skater Steve Caballero
was first released in 1991 and it featured a two piece toe cap, Van’s signature
Waffle Grip and numerous side panels. Half
Cab became famously known among skaters mainly because it was worn by an entire
generation of pro riders who redefined street skateboarding and it still worn
to this day by pro and amateur skaters.
Beginning of January, Vans will commence releasing 20 pairs
of limited editions Vans “Half Cab” worldwide every month, throughout the
course of the year. Each pair of Half Cabs will be individually cut, numbered
and signed by Caballero himself and will be available exclusively at selected
Supreme stores.
