Labor Skate Shop’s Vans Skate Half Cab Is An Ode To New York’s Mythical Sewer Gators

Labor Skate Shop’s Vans Skate Half Cab Is An Ode To New York’s Mythical Sewer Gators

Labor Skate Shop, a New York institution, is celebrating their home city alongside Vans, dressing up the footwear brand’s Skate Half Cab in a colorway inspired by longstanding NYC mythos.

With its “Croc Green” and “Croc Charcoal” fixtures, the collaboration celebrates the “sewer gator,” a breed of alligator that caused quite a bit of hysteria years prior. And following many a sighting — which conjured up various headlines, such as “9-Ft. Gator Lassoed In a Harlem Sewer” or “4-Ft. Alligator Is Captured in The East River” — the mythical reptile is about to make yet another appearance courtesy of Labor. Here, the skate shop has dressed the Half Cab in a black leather akin to a gator in texture; the suedes over top aid this association, albeit only with its green tone. Adjacent, Labor’s name hangs off the side of the profile adjacent to a set of green-on-yellow laces.

For a closer look at Labor’s upcoming Half Cab, check out the on-white imagery provided below. Pairs will be made available exclusive through Labor Skate Shop on August 18th, retailing for $90 USD.

In other news, Nike just unveiled the Dunk Low Reverse Panda.
