1992 saw the birth of the Vans Half Cab, 3 years after Steve Caballero’s signature kicks, the Caballero, were released. After seeing that many street-skaters were rocking a ‘cut-down’ version and then proceeding to try it for himself, Caballero decided to pitch the idea to Vans, which resulted in the production of the classic Half Cab.
Following the success of the timeless silhouette, after various re-inventions and collaborations, we are now treated to the 20th Anniversary Half Cab Collection, featuring 5 colour ways so far. All pairs sport a smart ‘20th Anniversary’ patch in place of the original on both the side panel and tongue, and come in a commemorative box in celebration of the 20 year mark.
The first to be released were the Black edition after being cleverly made from the original Cabarello trainer, using the inspiration which allowed for the creation of the Half Cab to begin with. Limited to just 20 pairs sold exclusively through Supreme, personally hand-cut, duct-taped and signed all by Mr Caballero himself, you would be super-lucky to get your mitts on a pair of these!
Geared to drop one at a time, 4 further limited edition colourways have been confirmed to be released monthly, each of them being one of the most iconic of the OG Half Cab colours, based on various covers of Thrasher magazine. Whilst we are still awaiting for the Forest Green, Beige and possibly more to be announced, you can already cop the Butterscotch and White colours over at Native Skatestore and Concept.
Keep it Big Eyes for further details, but for now you can enjoy this History of the Half Cab video:

When Summer comes, my Black/White Vans Authentic’s and my Vintage Surf Mahogany Era’s are staple shoes.. perfect for the beach or just for walking around in the day or night. When Winter hits, I pull out my Sk8 Hi’s or Half Cabs to keep my feet warm whilst being two of the most comfortable shoes I own.
I’ve been thinking that I haven’t picked up a nice pair of Era’s in a while and just my luck.. Vans are releasing a Two Tone pack consisting of a Half Cab, An Era and a 106 Vulc.. So much choice!
Vans Classics ‘Two Tone’ Pack
Half Cab

106 Vulc
People always say that black and blue don’t go.. but I’ve never understood it.. My favourite of the three is the Half Cab, there’s just something about the placement of the two colours against each other and also how lush the suede across the front of the toe box looks that have drawn me in! I definitely think the colours used within this two tone pack work really well together.
I’m doubtful that these will drop in sizes small enough for me.. but if you pick any up, send us pics!
Which is your favourite pair? Let us know here!

So it’s definitely clear, if you scroll through our archives, that us Big Eyes girls love our animal prints, so I thought it only right that I show you these beasts!
Supreme x Vans Half Cab ‘Giraffe’
As you can see, they come in two colours, black and tan and both in the giraffe print. A welcome change from all the leopard print we’ve seen on shoes over the past few years, although I do still love my leopard print Vans Sk8 Hi’s, I’ve totally fallen for the tan pair.
Both pairs have the Supreme red sock liner and both also come with white laces, however, I think the black pair would look sick with either red or black laces instead.
There’s no release date set for these yet, but as soon as we know, we’ll be sure to pass on the knowledge. I really hope these drop in some small sizes, judging by the Supreme x Vans collabs in the past, I have a sneaky feeling that my hopes will be shattered! But still, a girl can dream!
