Making a splash toward the end of the Half Cab 20th anniversary celebration last year, the Vans Cab Lite has been all but silent in 2013. Here’s a new colorway that ends that drought and built in a similar style to the earlier releases. In fact, this latest Cab Lite features the same tonal black upper as the introductory pair, but also blacks out the sockliner and sole for an even stealthier approach. Let us know how you feel about Cab Lite vs Half Cab and grab the latest from Flatspot.

On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, Steve Caballero’s legendary midtop signature silo was treated to a number of special collaborative releases and the updated style pictured above. This new Vans Syndicate Cab Lite is the next generation in the Caballero legacy, applying modern construction techniques and clean aesthetic sensibilities to the model Vans themselves refer to as “the greatest skate shoe of all time.” This new colorway matches the look of a couple LXVI releases and thus has a decidedly modern style to accompany its revamped construction, and you can see more shots below before buying from select Vans retailers like Flatspot.

You wouldn’t typically think of a pair of scissors being the only tool necessary to create an all-time classic sneaker design, but that’s the case for the Vans Half Cab, a model that improved upon the original Steve Caballero signature three years in and has remain untouched ever since. It took two decades before Off the Wall even attempted a fresh take on the Half Cab and now as the XX Anniversary celebration comes to a close, we’re ready for the silhouette’s next generation. The Vans Cab Lite builds on the momentum of what Vans themselves call “the greatest skate shoe of all time”, launching with a November 9th meet and greet also featuring longtime OTW rider and Syndicate contributor Christian Hosoi, at London’s Slam City Skates. The party might be a tough ticket for those outside the UK, but since today is the official release date, you can already get the Cab Lite from Slam City.

Vans has offered a huge variety of themed Sk8-His over the past few years, they’ve come through with countless colorways on the classic lowtops and the success of the upscale Vault line has given rise to new collections like OTW and LXVI. But never in its twenty years has Off the Wall so significantly altered Steve Caballero’s signature midtop. A step beyond Cab’s hand-scissored 20th anniversary redux, the Vans Cab Lite gives us a stripped-down silhouette revision with just two lines of stitching in lieu of the OG’s unique ankle tags. This fresh look is more breathable and features a stronger outsole, and a trio of tonal suede and canvas combos suggest these are worth a second look when they arrive at select retailers this holiday season. via EUkicks
