About the original
The Vans Half Cab is a mid-top skate shoe designed by Steve Caballero and Vans pattern-maker Bunny Caminiti in 1992, when Vans cut down the full-height Caballero high-top at the request of street skaters who had been doing it themselves with scissors. The Half Cab became the template for the modern skate shoe — padded collar, suede upper, vulcanized waffle outsole, gum rubber for grip — and has stayed in continuous production since. The Supreme FW21 version is the standard Half Cab last and construction in black suede, with a Tribal Barbed Wire print running around the midsole foxing and the original 1992 heel patch retained. The shoe is otherwise identical to Vans' production Half Cab.
