Scene Setting
Late afternoon. Concrete cooling down. The Vans Skate Half Cab Wafflecup™ in Black/White waits by the curb, laces loose, confident. A mid-top silhouette that’s seen stair sets before and expects to see them again.
Product Description
The Vans Skate Half Cab Wafflecup™ in Black/White refines a skate icon without sanding off its attitude. Built on Steve Caballero’s signature mid-top, this version pairs classic proportions with modern skate tech meant for longer sessions and harder landings.
Leather, suede, and canvas uppers give the shoe structure and abrasion resistance where it matters most. Underfoot, Vans’ Wafflecup™ construction blends the stability of a cupsole with the flexibility and board feel skaters demand. Add PopCush™ cushioning, SickStick™ rubber, and reinforced wear zones, and you get a shoe that stays comfortable, responsive, and intact long after the first drop-in.
It fits true to size and feels dialed in straight out of the box—no break-in rituals required. Familiar. Sharper. Still unapologetically Half Cab.
