Van Half Cab with Steve Cab original artwork. Available Aug '12.

20th Anniversary Half Cabs Detail. Due June '12.

This brand, let alone the shoe, needs no introduction at all. What you're checking out here is the Vans Half-Cab reissue series.

I think I just gave it an introduction....Nevertheless, what you're looking at here is straight skateboarding nostalgic porn for any OG out their reminiscing of them "good ol' days". If you look closely, it's a collaboration with past Thrasher magazine covers from skateboardings' greats. I've heard that the boxes themselves are going to have those classic Thrasher magazines covers printed on top of the box, matching the shoes inside. Their isn't much else to say but a generic "get em fast!" which you probably should. Expect these beauties out Spring 2012.

This shoe has by far been one of the hardest reviews yet. It's not a difficult or a stubborn shoe, it actually skates amazing but wait till the review for further details. It's the fact that my format "A Week with the Westgate" is a week. This causes me to have to work 10x's faster and harder for the review and still remain as accurate as ever with details.

Does this mean the shoe is going to be changed back to our monthly format? No. You need to know about this shoe considering how much "beef" is added to the mix.

You know what I'm talking about right....? You know...




Vans......



Half Cabs......



YES, this shoe looks like a Vans "Half Cab" but regardless of that my goal with this review is to show you how different the Westgate is from the Half Cab. I might even have to go to the man himself to help me out with this and ask him directly about all this controversy.

Am I biting off more than I can chew? I don't know but this should make for an interesting review.


Damn.
