First Look: Vans Revives the Premium Half Cab 33 Vibram for Holiday '25

Vans Half Cab 33 Vibram

Vans is bringing back the Half Cab 33 Vibram just in time for the holidays, and honestly, it just makes sense.

Admittedly, I wasn't sure how I felt about these when I first saw them, but I'm backing them hard. After debuting last year under Vans’ OTW line, the silhouette is now officially part of the Vans Premium family for Holiday ’25 with two clean new colorways: Parisian Night Blue with a black midsole, and a full Blackout version for anyone who likes to keep things stealthy. Take a look:

"This style made its debut last year under the OTW line and is returning for Holiday ‘25 under the Premium line," the Instagram account @houseofhalfcab mentioned. "Shown here in Parisian Night Blue on a black mid sole as well as a full Blackout colorway. Look for both of these to hit the Vans website December 4th as well as Premium accounts across the US."

Vans has been experimenting with a bunch of different Half Cab designs recently, from the Half Cab Decon to 33 Vibram (seen here) to plenty of different colorways and collabs all the same. It's a timeless shoe, no questions asked, but there's a ton of opportunity to play with the silhouette as well.

The Vans Premium Half Cab 33 Vibram is retailing for $150 and will be available early December. For those days off the board, these are a mandatory addition to your shoe quiver. Keep your eyes peeled either way—these will move fast.
