In 1992, legendary skater Steve Caballero teamed up with Vans to design the coveted Half Cab silhouette. Since then, a slew of colorways, collaborations, and iterations have adorned the mid-top sneaker. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the model this year, Caballero teamed up with Vans Taiwan on commemorative renditions of the iconic shoe.

The partnered range consists of two monochromatic colorways: tonal black and neutral grey. Both pairs are wrapped in premium suede fabric alongside UltraCush HD elastic insoles, white rubber midsoles, and signature waffle outsoles. The most eye-catching detail goes to the embroidered “XXV” text on the heelcap and a graphic of the original Bones Brigade member shredding on the tongue label and lateral tags.

Check out the photos above and expect an official launch soon at Vans Taiwan and select retailers.
