Jacques Slade — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:21:14 +0000

Before every brand had their hand in the skateboard shoe game, skaters were literally using shoe made for other sports, like the Air Jordan 1 and others to create a skate shoe to fit their needs. One such example that was transformed into a full skate shoe is the Vans Half Cab. Modified by legendary skateboarder Steve Caballero, Vans has hooked up with Supreme for a special 20th anniversary edition of the sneaker. To sweeten the pot a little, Steve has actually modified 20 pairs of the sneakers, the exact same way he used to back in the day. Check the video below for the details. Source: CJL
