The updated take on the Half Cab for the 30th anniversary of the sneaker is seen in the iconic two-tone blue color blocking with Mike’s touch of his Joe seen on the lateral collar tag, debossed on the heel, and on the insoles. The Old Skool takes a much more loud approach with skulls, barbed wire, roses, and more seen on medial and lateral panels with the Jazz Stripe seen in red. More of Mike’s Joe are seen on the insole as well as debossed on the heel with a drop-in PopCush cushioning and Duracap midsoles and classic gum rubber outsoles finishing off the sneaker. Lastly, the Trek Slip-On features a graphic print in red all over the black base of the shoe which would go well for the beach alongside the boardshorts and beach towel that are also in the collection.
