Bruce Lee-the renowned martial artist, filmmaker, and philosopher-has been a beloved cultural figure for decades, and this season’s collaboration with Vans honors his legacy by taking inspiration from his legendary quote: “Be water, my friend.”
Delivering more of what skateboarders need to enable maximum progression, the Vans x Bruce Lee Skate Half Cab blends all the upgraded features of our Skate Classics line with exclusive details that pay homage to Bruce. Featuring a custom Half Cab patch and footbed, debossed outsoles sharing his quote, and his iconic silhouette stamped across the tread, this upgraded Half Cab channels Bruce as a master of his craft, and an icon to all.
Finished with DURACAP™ reinforcement, SickStickTM outsoles, and POPCUSH™ cushioning, this Skate Half Cab gives you the iconic look you want while bringing all the performance benefits skateboarders demand. So next time you’re on your board, follow Bruce’s advice. Empty your mind, and become water.
