vans refract sk8 hi reissue

Released in 1992, the vans refract sk8 hi reissue is Steve Caballero's second signature shoe of the Californian Animal. Caballero and Vans noticed that skateboarders cutted his first signature shoe down into a mid top to perform dexterous street flip tricks, so iso decided to come up with the Half Cab. Nowadays, this silhouette is considered to be one of the best skate sneakers ever. "Instead of cutting these things down, why don’t we make them like this?" - Steve Caballero
