We're taking a couple of weeks away from the IDYSM London season as the next fortnight will feature some hot off the press content I shot this past weekend at Bondi Beach's 2013 Bowl-A-Rama (London season will resume after this).
The event is an annual mecca for the skate world and draws huge crowds all lining up to see skate greats of all ages put on a fantastic show and needless to say the event brings some serious shoe swag along with it.
To start the week I'm proud to welcome some skating and indeed shoe royalty to IDYSM in the form of the one and only Steve Caballero.
He's not just a skating legend who helped shape the sport, but also an iconic figurehead in the shoe scene too with his own Half Cab signature shoe just as iconic as his skate moves, and he's adamant that the influence of sneaker culture is as strong as ever.
Well, he would know, as his Half Cab shoe is so iconic it's led to it's own collabs, and in the above shots he's wearing the Vans x Metallica 20th Anniversary Half Cab, a shoe made in conjunction with his favourite band.
The shoes dropped in 2012 to great acclaim, and the collab gathers more momentum this year with the launch of a 4 part video series focusing on the band and shoe ambassadors, and includes Steve meeting Metallica frontman James Hetfield (check it out here).
A huge thanks to Steve; a skating legend, a shoe legend and an amazingly nice bloke.
