I hope Cab starts seeing royalties from these shoes again, I remember him talking on the Nine Club about how he has been shafted over the last few years. A timeless shoe.
@[Mantis.cyber] xvs1[UNIT] They do come in red, they're just out of stock since the entire world's production of materials is still finding it's footing. Basically every Vans shoe right now only comes in black, blue or tan. Also the other guy saying they suck, nah bro, they're pretty solid.
@@mikecynic5167 I agree the new “skate classic” half cabs are not as good as the pro classics were … vans clearly getting them made somewhere else cheaper
@@crazycarlsadventures5983 They're not terrible, I won't buy another pair though. Way too much padding, the soles are too thick and they take forever to break in and even then they're super stiff.
I love Half-Cabs, an undeniable classic, but I wish they would’ve kept producing the original (“Full”) Caballero as well. Imagine them in an olive/grey color-way. 😅
@@leofriedwald9901 You can find limited edition/anniversary editions fairly easily on eBay and whatnot, but they aren't widely available in the standard lineup like the Half-Cabs are. These reissue versions don't have the same black/grey colorway though, they're black with white laces/sidewalls/stiching/etc. I think I've seen the maroon/grey ones reissued though.
@@leofriedwald9901 Over the years, Vans has produced Full Cabs and even Low Cabs (aka Cab Lows), but the only shoe they consistently produce is the mid top.
Steve Caballero ... a true legend of sk8... i just to have a Jhon Cardiel´s gray VANS back in the 2000´s. GREAT times....thank you VANS and skateboarding...still making ollies
This is super cool, my wife works with his brother, Robert Caballero and whenever I go volunteer he has all these cool stories about Steven. Is crazy how long he has been skating!
I bought my first Half Cab a months ago. It's like my dream shoes. For a non-skater, Half Cab is a comfortable shoes. It feels like my ankles been supported.
That's why Cab is my favorite skateboarder of all time....just smooth confident awesome talent and he does everything with style... Just ordered a Cab Flight board some days ago...can't wait... Need a second one for my wall!...
This is really good. Steve is a legend and I’m honored to have met him and also skate with him. I did have a pair of cut and duct taped Full Cabs back in the day!
Love these history lessons. This all happened when I was just a kid. There wasn’t even skate shops near me at the time. Antique stores had, “new school”, boards for sale. I think the only shoes we knew about were airwalk ones at the time. But then in comes the HalfCab. It was so iconic. Every kid who skated wanted a pair. I think Mike Carroll in his white ones with black soles sold us all. I recall that exact mag ad you showed in the video. It was like a style, little wheels, baggie dockers, HalfCabs, and a sweatshirt. It was like this transition from grunge to hip hop that was happening. The HalfCab bridged that gap. You had Fred Gall with a Kirk Cobain haircut with baggie cutoff jeans in HalfCabs. MC doing the dockers/chinos. I’d love to see Vans reissue some of the more obscure ones that came out, why not? All they did was a 92 tan and blue. Boring. Reissue that classic white with black sole or the purple with black sole, or the Turquoise ones. That’s all in right now anyways, don’t miss the opportunity to do it!
Cab is the man and the Haf Cab is the best skate shoe of all time and is only rivaled by the Jordan. Not even Jordan had the same model his whole career. It's pretty incredible what Cab has accomplished.
I skated back then and still today, but the first shoe was the airwalk enigma, everyone cut that shoe down. I also cut down vans old school highs because there was no old school low back then. I did have a pair of full cabs in 92 that I cut down, those were the best skate shoes. I still skate in half cabs now, I really like the new redesign.
I hate the new redesign. The "pop cush" insoles suck, they're stiff, they're uncomfortable. There's WAY too much "support". I've been skating for 36 years and the new Half Cabs are the worst shoes I've ever skated. Half Cabs used to be great shoes, the new ones are nothing like the original. It's an entirely different shoe. I wish I could get my 75 bucks back and buy better shoes.
LISTEN TO THE FACTION. Steve's band is amazing and older than the half cab! Had to shout em out. Next to US Bombs and Duane Peters other projects they're the best sk8 band ever.
Cool video. I remember cutting my airwalk disaster just to imitate these guys, imagine this was in venezuela around 93. I always dreamed having a pair of vans caballero, and still they looked awesome.
I seem to recall that by the timne Cab & Vans got te half cab to market the street scene had moved on from Vans. No matter, I had em, cut em down like everyone else and went on to ride half cabs to this day. Cab is a ruler, style & power. Vans fam forever, RIp Grosso XXX
Todos os modelos da vans são irados sou muito fam mas o Ralf Cab e o mais sinistro e com uma história simplesmente incrível depois do cab pra mim vem o chunka e o TNT Five incríveis também 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
I liked the full cabs better because of more ankle support. I skated through at least one pair a month when I was on the Vans team from 1989 through 1993.
Steve Caballero inventing a lot of tricks like the Cabberials, frontside 540, air guitar slide, frontside hurricane, axle stall, nosepick, benihana, judo, inward heelflip, noseblunt, melon, rocket air, and etc in 1980 I think??!
I’d like to say vans and steve cab the half cabs are a very great shoe to skate I love them I have the skate half cabs 🔥 keep up the fire shoes they look so good with my dickies pants!
Yes I remember the cutting of the shoes. Wasn't it done with the CBS and Blockhead crew. I remember being in Joey's backyard ramp and thing this was funny! BQ!
Did they change something with the latest version of the half cab? I bought one in my normal size and it was soooo f'ing narrow it was uncomfortably tight on the sides and top of my feet - but the toe length was fine. Also my heel kept slipping up and down on the rear of the shoe, so despite how tight it was in the other dimension it was super loose around the heel. Very strange, and big disappointment.
I got my first pair in like 2012 , they have changed so much since then … the pair I had the insoles were glued to the shoe . Prob one of the best pairs I had but it did get soggy after a good month of skating …. The pro classics I did like just not as good as board feel with the new insoles … but the new “skate classics” are just to slim compared to the older models .. the tounges are less puffy , the backing of the shoe is too stiff and the new insoles hurt my feet .. I did just get the new 92 classics Natas/ ray barbee too and they are built different as well
How you gonna be a Vans historian and use terminology “they beat us by a minute” when describing when etnies beat them for the first pro shoe. I feel like a historian should have the actuate dates for history purposes.
The new Half Cabs are hot garbage. They're stiff, tight, uncomfortable and restrictive, the "pop cush" insole fucking sucks and they have way too much padding. The padding is my main gripe. There's so much padding they're uncomfortable. They're nothing like they used to be. If they came out with an original half cab without all the gimmicky shit I'd buy it. Loved them back in the day...but it's not the same shoe anymore.

A timeless shoe.
How is it timeless when the modern half cab is about as far away as you can get from the original? The new half cabs suck.

Me too. As much as I like my Half-Cabs, I prefer a legit high top. Are Full Cabs not available at all?

2:59 He uses a Boss Katana 2 amp !!! I’m gonna buy one, for sure!!!
Awesome. Got my first ever pair of Vans last week - Black and White Half Cabs. Love 'em.
Vans rules!
C'mon bring the back the Full Cab!
I bought my first Half Cab a months ago. It's like my dream shoes. For a non-skater, Half Cab is a comfortable shoes. It feels like my ankles been supported.
Wish cab can reissue the cab 4 to 8
Steve is an inspiration and will always be. Thank you for all the beautiful years and more!!
This video deserves a round of applause: Cab! Cab! Cab! Caballero!!!!!!!
Cab is a legend in the sport! Half cab is my favourite Vans followed by the Rowell XLT’s.
Everyone wants the full cabs back for good
Well played, vans. This is sick.
Thanks!
That's why Cab is my favorite skateboarder of all time....just smooth confident awesome talent and he does everything with style... Just ordered a Cab Flight board some days ago...can't wait... Need a second one for my wall!...

Half cabs are the best have went through so many pairs!
The new ones are fucking garbage.
I still have some old US made Full Cabs somewhere and they are not thrashed! Gotta show them to Cab.....
Oh man! Javontae Turner! Bro I hadn't seen him in over 20 years man I'm so glad to see he's aged gracefully and doing well- what a good cat.
We cut our airwalks down. I’m so happy my 10 big years of skating was 86-96. Witnessed so much change & progression.

Dark purple with black soles and stitching would be sick
Steve seems like such a genuinely good dude
Thank you Steve and Thank Vans!!! The only skate shoe I will wear😉
I bmx and love these shoes and the bmx trick named after the 2nd shoe “ HalfCab”.
Please bring the Full Cab back!
His collection is awesome. Love all the old skool boards

Go Steve
Why is this video unlisted everyone needs t see this
Bring back that colorway,!
Half cabs 💯
Bought 2 pairs of Cabs, we ain’t going nowhere…
awesome.

Besides D3s haha

Designed by a skateboarder, perfected by skateboarders.

CAB can boardslide that razor rail. Years before Razor scoots was invented.
vans over cab
Now, if they could just stop the backs from splitting after 5 wears...they would be perfect.
Can see plenty of legends wearing them in World’s video here: ruclips.net/video/mmfnSjYt_hM/видео.html
Carrol :O dammmmmm older than CAB
Ever notice cab likes to tilt his big head to the side a lot....maybe a broken collarbone years ago?...
I wonder about that everytime I see him. If you watch old movies with him in it you can see him starting to do it as a kid.
Jay Adams’ Jeff Kendall’ Hosoi ,, Bones 🦴
Where is this dudes neck lol
Cabs girlfriend is younger than the half cab
How you gonna be a Vans historian and use terminology “they beat us by a minute” when describing when etnies beat them for the first pro shoe. I feel like a historian should have the actuate dates for history purposes.
No ure thane
Steve got a younger girlfriend damn homie beating some fresh cheeks 😂 hey man salute 🙏 he's a legend for sure.

Why aren't they vegan!? There's no excuse.
Because the world doesn't revolve around you?
@@mikecynic5167 Being vegan isn't about us at all. Duh.
Because it doesn't last and is way worse for the environment.
Half cabs suck
