VANS HALF CAB SUEDE PARRA MULTICOLOR

For this collaboration, Parra revisits a shoe that he has a longstanding personal connection with: the Vans Half Cab. Para became a professional skateboarder in the early 1990s when he was sponsored by Vans in the Netherlands. His go-to shoe for skating was, and remains, the Vans Half Cab, making this collaboration in 2024 not only his return to Vans, but also his skateboarding roots. The OTW by Vans x Piet Parra Suede Half Cab is a vibrant twist on the classic shoe, featuring contrasting premium suede panels in Parra’s signature color palette. The overlapping undulating cutouts distort the lines of the original Half Cab® and are in keeping with Parra’s fluid and eye-catching creative language seen in his artwork. Co-Branded footbeds in the shoe feature a call to action from Parra, for those who might be distracted by the stylish appearance of the sneaker: “Don’t forget to skate in these!”
