About the Cab Street Artwork:
In 1987 street skating was rapidly gaining popularity. Steve Caballero not only excelled at vert skating but was a top contender on the “Street-Style” circuit. Powell-Peralta decided to introduce an additional Cab deck model specifically designed for street. Artist V.C. Johnson created a new dragon graphic with a bats & bones background. Cab’s name was also created in the bat shape since Cab was into Batman at the time. The Powell-Peralta logo was made using the Animal Chin font, also a sign of the times.
Originally Released: 1987
Artwork by: Vernon Courtlandt Johnson
Powell-Peralta Re-Issue Construction
Powell-Peralta re-issue decks are close reproductions of their 1980s counterparts, featuring the original Pro graphics and shape, top graphic logo and concave. They are manufactured in their own Santa Barbara, CA skateboard factory, which is still directed by a few of the same craftsmen that made them originally.
