As street skating took over in the early 1990s, skaters started cutting down their high-top Caballeros with a knife and taping the raw edge. Vans made the cut official with the Half Cab in 1992, a mid-top with a padded collar.

It is one of the longest-running signature shoes in any sport and still carries Caballero’s name.
