Ever tried wearing chenille on your feet? You get this rare chance thanks to the Vans Half Cab Pro Pack - Fall 2009 sneakers which come in new colorway to celebrate skating legend Steve Caballero.

This particular sneaker collection comes in three colorways of red, black and blue. While the design is not really revolutionary what will get your eyes and your tickle fancy is the chenille on the upper. The shoes have vulcanized white sole that provides a clean contrast to the red upper and red chenille.

The Vans Half Cab Pro Pack - Fall 2009 is made of premium suede and leather which will remind you of varsity leatherman jackets. And to create that perfect varsity look there’s the enlarged embroidery stitching of the words Half Cab just right on the heel tab.

The College Blue colorway has already been released but if you want the more eye catching red then watch for the release of the black and red colorways in the coming weeks.

Vans first released the Half Cabs sneakers as a Steve Caballero signature shoe way back in 1991 and they have made a killing since then. After 18 years, the Half Cabs seems to still be in the hearts and hopefully in the feet of students who will find it pretty affordable at only $75.
