Anybody that was growing up skating in the in late 80’s and 90’s knows that the the Vans Caballero and Half Cab was the best skate shoe, period. We cut ‘em down, put in different tongues, spray-painted and patched ‘em up with stickers and Shoe Goo®. Well, guess what? They’re still the best. Only problem is they come in some lame-ass colors this last season. Here’s a quick how-to on getting that basic, classic Half Cab back on your foot. Dear Vans, can we have some better colors next season?

Most of the colorways did suck. but some weren’t bad. I got the plan white/tan ones. they also had orange, and the classic seafoam green/blue color.
