Vans Half Cab – 20th Anniversary Collection (Spring 2012)

^^I can be wrong but i believe it's a photographer for Trasher magazin.

Yeah, Mofo is Mörizen Föche, the photographer that took the original photo that the logo is based on. So they're using the actual picture on his pair. Definitely cool!

Then tell me, how did you come about the logo for the Half Cab?
The logo for the first signature shoe, the Caballero, had a dragon on it. In the '80s my board graphic was a dragon. Vans came up with a dragon with a tail shaped like a "C" to spell out my name. When we had the idea for the Half Cab, we were wondering what we could do for the logo? We decided to call the shoe the Half Cab, because we were gonna cut the shoe in half. I looked for an image of me doing a Half Cab, and I had that photo you took at the Sacramento contest of me in the Half Cab position. I thought it would be cool to have an image of me actually doing a Half Cab. Vans came up with a silhouette of it. It was the only photo that I had of me doing the trick, and you shot it.

Apparently one of the collabs that has yet to be unveiled is with Metallica. That's pretty rad!

The Mofo tags kinda look like they're printed on 3M. I doubt it, but that would be super rad!

Someone copped that MoFo's already?

^^^ they were the June release Erwin. We received ours about 2-3 days before the month started. Leather is so buttery soft! We are sold out already, but just for reference
-- tongue detail: thought the signature tag was a nice extra touch.
