The city of lights is shining a spotlight on the world of skateboarding this summer! Parisian streetwear brand Parra has partnered with iconic Californian label Vans to create a special edition Half Cab sneaker in honor of Go Skateboarding Day 2024.
This is no ordinary Half Cab. The classic silhouette has been given a vibrant makeover, drawing inspiration from the upcoming World Skateboarding Day and World Music Day (Fête de la Musique) - both of which fall on June 21st.
The shoe's upper features a bold red, white, and blue color scheme, reflecting the colors of the French flag. But Parra's signature style is evident in the wavy edges, a design element seen in their recent Nike collaborations. Leaked images also reveal a playful bird graphic on the tongue and lateral branding, adding a touch of Parra's whimsical aesthetic.
The celebration extends beyond just the shoe. The special edition box also features abstract Vans typography and squiggly lines, perfectly complementing Parra's artistic flair.
While an official release date has not yet been announced, the clear connection to June 21st suggests this Parra x Vans Half Cab will be dropping soon. Fans should keep an eye on the brands' social media channels for the latest updates.
This unique Half Cab is sure to be a highly sought-after item for both skaters and streetwear enthusiasts. It's a perfect blend of Californian cool and Parisian style, celebrating the worlds of skateboarding and music in a single, stylish package. TBA.
