Born out of skateboarding's relentless spirit of progression and self expression, the Half Cab came into being in the early 90s when skaters began cutting down the hi-top Caballero Pro. With nothing but scissors and duct tape, they transformed it into a mid-top that was better suited for street skating, and unknowingly created what would be one of the most influential skate shoes of all time. Today, the Skate Half Cab continues to inform and inspire skate shoe design. To meet the needs modern skaters, the Skate Half Cab is reinforced and refined for skateboarding with PopCush™ impact protection, DuraCap™ underlays, and grippy SickStick™ rubber.
