Vans will be releasing a legends pack honoring Bay Area native and Powell Peralta pro Steve Caballero. The pack will consist of three classic models: a SK8 Hi, Era, and what would a pack be without Steve’s signature shoe, the Half Cab. Seeing as Caballero was born in the year of the dragon, Vans will use a graphic from one of his many Powell-Peralta dragon boards for the shoe pack, featuring traditional suede and canvas. Release is set for October 2008.
