Vans may be known for its classic dispatch of trustworthy lifestyle footwear in the skateboarding world, but that’s not to say that modern technicalities are ignored in its craftsmanship. Skateboarding legend Steve Caballero’s latest Pro Skate Cab Lite may hint at the iconic Half Cab silhouette, yet the upper is instead over-hauled with a synthetic wrap construction for weight-reduction and more technical approach. Meanwhile the seemingly classic outsole employs an Ultracush Lite footbed technology, modernizing the vulcanized sole with more cushioning. This rendition is 30% lighter than traditional style, saving approximately one pound per a pair without compromising performance or style. Debuting this spring, lookout for the Pro Skate Cab Lite at selected Vans retailers.
