It also has a new rubber compound for increased durability and longevity.On the side of the shoe are graphic finishes, including Vans’ signature checkerboard flag.The Skate Half Cab ’92 is available in blue and taupe suede colorways at Vans retail locations and online.In other footwear news, Norda Run’s 001 sneaker is built for the toughest conditions.Click here to view full gallery at HYPEBEAST
