Vans x Deluxe Chukka Boot

Deluxe has put an interesting twist on this Chukka.  This is the first time that we’ve seen a rubber toecap utilized on a Chukka.  The croc skin style leather places this shoe in the slightly flashy category, but being that it’s black, it won’t draw as much attention.  The round waxed laces add that final touch, along with the appropriate collabo tongue label.  As with most Japanese Vans releases…”what’s sold in Japan…stays in Japan!”  You can try your luck on their webstore.

Vans "Archive" Pack

Check out this wild pack from Vans, that looks to be a pretty nice general release model…if all-over prints are still cool to you.  If skulls, paisley prints, and old skool vans sticker logos are your thing, then here’s the kicks for you.  Available in the Vans holy trinity: a Sk8-Hi, Era, and Slip-On.  Not sure if these are going to be released here stateside, but they are currently available at Flauge, in Japan.  Hope you got a friend who can order these for you!
