Vans Timberland Half Cab Hiker Shoes

Two Classics Collide as Vans Skateboarding and Timberland Unveil Their First-Ever Collaboration. Vans’ iconic Half Cab, a storied skate shoe that was first released in 1992, is nearing the culmination of its year-long 30th-anniversary celebration. Over the past 12 months, a set of releases that encapsulates the Half Cab’s wide-reaching cultural influence have hit shelves, so for the grand finale, it’s only right for the Half Cab to head down a bold new trail and into the world of Timberland. Vans and Timberland have come together for an entirely new hybrid silhouette dubbed the Vans Skateboarding x Timberland Half Cab Hiker, a design that’s half skate shoe, half hiking boot and entirely unique. The Half Cab Hiker draws equal inspiration from the Half Cab and Timberland’s Euro Hiker, a lightweight yet surprisingly sturdy hiking boot created in 1988 that, just like the Half Cab, has transcended its original purpose to be adopted by a variety of subcultures worldwide. The Euro Hiker’s clean silhouette, earth-inspired colorways and outdoor cred have made it a wintertime staple for style-conscious city dwellers - much in the same way skaters still look to the Half Cab for timeless performance. With this new capsule, the Half Cab’s familiar ⅝ cut upper is placed on top of Euro Hiker boot tooling and amplified with metal eyestays plus two-tone round boot laces. From a construction standpoint, each pair is made from a combo of canvas and Timberland’s premium leather. There’s also a ReBOTL™ lining that’s made from at least 50% recycled plastic, helping keep waste out of landfills. Padded leather collars, rubber lug outsoles and co-branded Vans/Timberland detailing round off the look. They come in Wheat and Chocolate/Olive colorways.
