A heritage skate style upgraded for enhanced performance, Steve Caballero's signature Half Cab has been redesigned to deliver more of what skaters need to enable maximum progression. Made with a fully revised upper, molded heel counter, locked-in tongue straps, and a recut of the DURACAP™ underlay, the Half Cab offers an essential fit that is more breathable and durable where skaters need it most. The two-part foxing, featuring a tougher toe knurl, ensures heightened board contact, and the redesigned gum rubber sole that made Vans famous has been further elevated with the SICKSTICK™ rubber compound plus an internal heel shank to deliver more grip, more boardfeel, more support, and more durability. Along with a new sidewall finish, POPCUSH™ sockliners for superior cushioning and impact protection, and Steve's classic branding label, the new Half Cab gives you the iconic look you want with all the performance benefits that real skaters demand. It is made with sturdy suede and canvas uppers.

Introducing the AVE 2.0, Our Most Technically Advanced Skate Shoe Ever
Anthony Van Engelen is always pushing the boundaries of skateboarding. Together, Vans and AVE have consistently delivered our most progressive skate shoes, and his latest pro model is our most uncompromised yet. Featuring Vans’ UltimateWaffle™ sole, the AVE 2.0 pulls from decades of footwear innovation to set a new standard by combining added grip and cushioning with unrivaled support and an engineered knit upper that provides a precision fit, enabling skaters to keep pushing the boundaries—just like AVE.
ULTIMATE GRIP - Our UltimateWaffle™ sole is built with SickStick™ rubber for uncompromised durability, support, and the perfect grip for skateboarding.
PRECISION FIT - The newly engineered knit tech upper gives the AVE 2.0 a sock-like fit while the molded TPU heel and midfoot add stability and support.
BOARDFEEL + CUSHIONING - Our resilient UltraCush™ midsole combines with the UltimateWaffle™ for the perfect combination of boardfeel and cushioning.
REINFORCED FOR SKATEBOARDING - We added our innovative RAPIDWELD™ no-sew construction to the DURACAP™-lined suede in high-wear areas to provide lasting protection from griptape.
TPU SUPPORT - The clear TPU piece (visible along the midfoot) adds lightweight and long-lasting support, while providing a clear view of the UltimateWaffle™ construction.
