Vans Skateboarding is honoring skate legends and inspiring a new generation with its latest Skate Classics Collection. The lineup features modern iterations of two iconic shoes: the Skate Half Cab and Skate Rowley.
The Skate Half Cab, originally released in 1992, pays homage to Steve Caballero‘s influence on skateboarding culture, whereas the Skate Rowley, first introduced in 1999, showcases Geoff Rowley‘s impact with its slim, vulcanized silhouette. 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 palette combines black and purple with vibrant hot pink accents, creating a bold and energetic aesthetic. This striking combination reflects the dynamic spirit of skateboarding culture. Complementing the footwear is a range of apparel including hoodies, tees, jeans, hats and socks. To celebrate the launch, Caballero and Rowley have teamed up with nine up-and-coming skaters, including Pedro Delfino who will have his own 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.
