VANS AND CIVILIST RELEASE EXKLUSIV NEW SKATE HALF CAB
Vans and Civilist have teamed up again to create a new version of the classic Skate Half Cab, inspired by the winter nights of Berlin and its dark blue skies, followed by the fleeting reflections of the cars and streetlights that light up the streets. If you look up, you might spot a pair of black shoes adorning the train ropes. The new black Skate Half Cab features premium nylon uppers and an all-over jacquard pattern, complemented by a dark blue fox stripe and hiking-inspired laces.
Just like the lights of the TV tower, details like the C and the B (“Civilist Berlin”) on the original Half Cab logo stand out in certain conditions.

GUY BOURDIN AT ARMANI/SILOS
Guy Bourdin is known as a former artist who later transitioned into the self-educated photography scene and in no time developed his own unique style of transforming his vision and into images.
