Vans Skateboarding works in collaboration with American imprint Carpet Company on a special pair of the Vans Skate Half Cabs amongst other footwear and apparel. The two brands introduce a joint range that honors both of their unique energies this season.
There are three footwear styles that comprise the capsule -- two variations of the Skate Half Cab and one refreshed version of the Skate Vab 4 silhouette. All three designs are made using premium materials including faux croc skin, which is referred to as 'dragon leather' by the American brand. This is layered over high-quality leather which celebrates the iconic dragon motif by Steve Caballero. The collection has exclusively launched on Carpet Company's web store.
