Finally, these babies are releasing.  It is confirmed that these will be releasing on Saturday the 23rd.  Limited to 150 pairs, and there are also some accessories available as well for purchase.  Read the Hypebeast release info:

“Emerging from the wilderness after a year-long hibernation, the highly anticipated Vans Vault x Bodega “Real Tree” Chukka LX will finally release on Saturday, October 23rd (11am). The Bodega “Real Tree” Chukka features soft nubuck leather, work boot laces, a fully customized comfort foot bed, and a licensed “Real Tree” camouflage pattern. A clean and simple design makes the Bodega “Real Tree” Chukka perfect for all occasions, both wooded and urban.

Bodega will also be releasing other “Real Tree” collaborative accessories to coincide with the project. Pieces include the Buck 50 utility knife, Zippo lighter, and most importantly, the Bodega beverage coozie — all for celebrating that successful hunt or graduation. Limited to 150 units, the Bodega “Real Tree” Chukka will be available in-store as well as through the Bodega webstore for $100 USD. All items are sold individually, and all products will be released in compliance with local law.”

These surfaced sometime over a year ago, over on Hypebeast, and we never heard anything else about them after that, but it looks like these will be releasing sometime this year, after seeing a small feature in the new issue of Sneaker Freaker.  Boston’s very own Bodega has collaborated with Vans, and Realtree, on this hunter inspired Chukka boot.  Done up primarily in a light olive green colorway, on a matching vulcanized outsole, with Realtree authentic patterned camouflage for the lining.  No release info yet, but these pics are from August 2009, and a year later, we are still patiently waiting for some kind of confirmation that these are going to be released.  Let us know Bodega!
