Vans Skateboarding’s Skate Classics Collection Honors Past, Present, and Future Skateboarding Icons. New takes on the Skate Half Cab® and Skate Rowley bring together two generations of the world’s most progressive skateboarders.
Steve Caballero and Geoff Rowley are two of the most fearless progressives in skateboarding history. Their constant commitment to always pushing is still felt by today’s new generation of budding skate icons, so Vans Skateboarding has brought Caballero and Rowley together with nine of today’s foremost boundary-pushers for the journey to celebrate the Skate Half Cab® and Skate Rowley, modernized iterations of two Vans Skateboarding icons. The former, first released in 1992, is an “official” iteration of the cut-down OG Caballero that enterprising skaters would make with a pair of scissors and some duct tape, while the latter, first seen in 1999, is a slim, vulcanized silhouette that stood in stark contrast to the super-sized cupsole shoes of the era in which it released.
Joining Caballero and Rowley on the journey are Breana Geering, Daiki Hoshino, Zion Wright, Rome Collyer, Dick Rizzo, Curren Caples, Nelly Morville, Diego Todd, and Pedro Delfino, the last of whom is also receiving his own Skate Half Cab colorway. The two-part story sees Caballero and Rowley take the young guns to their personal favorite spots in California, encouraging them to evolve those spots’ legacy by displaying their own skill and creativity — writing a new chapter that will, in turn, push the next generation of skaters to further evolve on what’s already been accomplished.
Vans Skate Classics footwear features PopCush™ insoles, which offer maximum support, responsiveness, and impact protection, while reinforced Duracap™ rubber underlays increase durability, and SickStick™ outsoles serve up maximum grip and board feel. Both styles are done up in a mixture of black and purple with a jolt of energy supplied by hot pink accents, and the footwear is accompanied by a collection of apparel that includes a hoodie, tee, jeans, hat, and socks.
Steve Caballero 和 Geoff Rowley 无疑是滑板史上最无畏的两位推动者。如今，新一代的滑板偶像们仍能感受到他们不断进取的决心。因此，Vans 滑板将 Caballero 和 Rowley 与当今九位最重要的滑板推动者聚集在一起，共同庆祝 Skate Half Cab® 和 Skate Rowley 这两款 Vans 滑板标志性产品的现代化迭代。前者于 1992 年首次发布，灵感来源于滑手们用剪刀和胶带将高帮剪裁的举动，是 OG Caballero 的“官方”迭代版本；后者于 1999 年首次亮相，作为一款“身材苗条”的硫化鞋款，与同时期在售的超大号面包大底鞋形成鲜明对比。
与 Caballero 和 Rowley 一起踏上旅程的还有Breana Geering, Daiki Hoshino, Zion Wright, Rome Collyer, Dick Rizzo, Curren Caples, Nelly Morville, Diego Todd 以及 Pedro Delfino，其中最后一位还即将拥有属于自己的 Skate Half Cab 签名配色。本次旅程的故事由两部分组成：Caballero 和 Rowley 带着这些年轻的滑手来到加州他们个人最喜爱的地形，鼓励他们通过展示自己的技术和创造力来延续这些地形的经典—同时为地形书写新的篇章，借此来鼓励新生代滑手在自己已有成就的基础上更进一步。
Vans Skate Classics 鞋款采用 PopCush™ 鞋垫，可提供最大程度的提供脚部支撑、回馈和缓震保护；加固的 Duracap™ 橡胶内衬可提高鞋款耐用性；SickStick™ 鞋底带来最大程度的抓地力和触板感。两双鞋款均以黑色和紫色为主色调，亮粉色的点缀为鞋款注入了活力，同时还推出了包括连帽衫、T恤、牛仔裤、帽子和袜子在内的服饰系列。
Vans 滑板全新的 Skate Half Cab® 和 Skate Rowley 及其配套服饰将于 8 月 10 日在 vans.com/skate 上架；Pedro Delfino 的 Skate Half Cab 配色将于 8 月 16 日发售。
