JJJJound, the Montreal-based studio founded by Justin Saunders, has made its name by redefining minimalism across fashion, interiors, and design. Known for a refined, no-frills style, the brand has partnered with some of the biggest names in footwear, bringing its unmistakable vision to classic silhouettes.
Now, JJJJound teams up once again with Vans to reimagine the Half Cab, a skate icon originally introduced in the early ’90s and closely tied to pro skater Steve Caballero.
In this latest collaboration, the JJJJound x Vans Half Cab “Black” colourway strips things back to basics with a sleek, monochromatic look. The upper features premium black suede, offering both durability and texture.
Unlike flashier iterations, this version thrives on subtlety. The tonal palette extends to the laces, tongue, and overlays, while a clean marshmallow midsole and a gum rubber outsole provide contrast and skate-ready function.
Inside, the shoe carries a minimalist design language with muted branding and a soft lining for all-day comfort. The Half Cab’s classic padded ankle collar and reinforced toe cap remain, grounding the design in skateboarding heritage.
It’s a true meeting of form and function elevating a streetwear staple with high-end materials and quiet sophistication. This black pair is for those who want to stand out without being loud.
