The New Half Cab GTX

30 Years of the Half Cab in GoreTEX

The Skate Half Cab 92 GTX elevates an iconic style with GORE-TEX® suede and textile materials paired with the performance benefits skaterboarders demand

After 30 years, the Skate Half Cab is still made for skateboarding.

Only now, it’s better than ever.

In 1992, skaters created the world’s greatest skate shoe with just scissors and duct tape. They cut down their shoes to make something that could push skateboarding the way they wanted to, and the Half Cab was born. Three decades later, skaters are still pushing forward. Introducing the Skate Half Cab ‘92 GTX, a new build on a skate classic.
