Vans Skateboarding Honors Legends and Inspires a New Generation with Latest Collection
Vans Skateboarding is paying tribute to skateboarding icons and motivating a new wave of skaters with their newest Skate Classics Collection. The lineup features modern versions of two legendary shoes: the Skate Half Cab and Skate Rowley.
The Skate Half Cab, originally released in 1992, is a nod to Steve Caballero’s immense influence on skate culture. The Skate Rowley, first introduced in 1999, showcases Geoff Rowley’s impact with its sleek, vulcanized design. Both shoes have been updated with Vans’ latest performance technologies, including PopCush insoles for superior cushioning, Duracap rubber underlays for enhanced durability, and SickStick outsoles for optimal grip.
The collection’s color scheme combines black and purple with vibrant hot pink accents, creating a bold and energetic aesthetic. This eye-catching combination perfectly captures the dynamic spirit of skateboarding culture. Along with the footwear, the collection also includes a range of apparel such as hoodies, tees, jeans, hats, and socks.
To celebrate the launch, Caballero and Rowley have joined forces with nine up-and-coming skaters, including Pedro Delfino who will have his own unique brown Skate Half Cab colorway. The Skate Classics Collection will be available on Vans’ official website starting August 8, with Delfino’s special colorway set to be released on August 15.
