Ultra Premium VANS HALF CABS
« on: May 07, 2013, 10:08:44 AM »
just got this email from vans about the protec pool party and some limited ''china cab'' half cabs coming out.  some kind of high end premium materials.  there is a whole long story about the process and reason but here are some pics.

DAMN! Those look really good. The first two on feet pictures look horrible, but the other photos look solid. And that collar padding? - shit looks sturdy and comfortable as hell.

Do you know if they're utilizing the Waffle Cup technology or are they using another method for the cupsole?

[...] The first two on feet pictures look horrible [...]


They clearly got confused with the hint about lacing them up to the metal eyelet in that Mullet Man's glorious thread...

Cupsole Half-Cabs?? Is that really what these are?? If so, awesome!!! I was just wishing they would make these last week. Haha

Not backing the all-metal eyelets, but that's such a minor thing. They'll still be great.

They look sick. This makes sense since a guy at the vans store told me that a lot of vans stores have stopped carrying the suede classic half cabs

i hope its a different sole technology (ha) than the Rowley Shams.  Those were pretty horrible, but went for the same basic concept.

Metal eyelets are sweet. Makes lacing and tightening much quicker.

He had other cup sole models, but not the OG Cab, or the Halfs/Lows.
