Vans Built an Exquisite Outdoor Boot Out of a Skate Classic
Vans has blessed the streets with several high-end skate shoes, from Old Skools resembling coveted Chanel bags to Half Cabs built like the ultimate outdoor boots.
The latter, called the Half Cab Vibram, was introduced by Vans' premium OTW line. It was one of the first models from OTW, launched in 2024.
Vans has since kept the Half Cab Vibram offering fresh with stylish options, like the "Parisian Night Blue" colorway.
The latest Half Cab Vibram looks as if it's been perfectly dyed in deep blue, joined by the signature sturdy suede and mesh construction for a genuinely rugged feel.
Of course, it's complete with the Vibram sole unit (hence its name), which not only delivers superior traction but also adds a nice lift to this skate classic. It's a boot now, basically!
The Vibram model is one of several good-looking Half Cab sneakers as of late. We've also seen the model dressed in tiger camo and reimagined as a moccasin-style skate shoe.
But for those in their outdoor era and want to bring the iconic model along for the ride, look no further than the Half Cab Vibram.
The latest (and bluest) Premium Half Cab Vibram is now available on Vans' website for $150, alongside some other solid color options.
