The Chukka Pro 79 returns this Spring, in a few new colorways and material makeups. This time they aren’t your typical all suede Chukka Pro, and instead are utilizing an engineered Oxford fabric on the side panels, with a suede toe box, ankle collar, and heel panel. Available in Navy, or Black. These will be out at the beginning of March. As with all Pro models, they feature a thick padded removable footbed for comfort, and a DURACAP toe bumper for durability. A step up from your typical general releases.

The Burgundy/Antique White colorway is built using a combination of suede and canvas, and the Black/Pewter model gets a suede and DURASuede ® mock-up. The Era Pro features the same removable thick padded sockliner as always, and the signature Duracap toe bumper as well. These should be hitting your local Vans stores soon.

Leave it up to Vans to engineer skateboarding’s very first vulcanized cupsole. A new breakthrough for skating, as every skater wants the board feel that a standard Vans vulcanized sole gives, but they also don’t want to shred their pair in about a week. They also want comfort, and let’s face it, Vans aren’t your grandpa’s fancy walking shoes, and a removable sockliner can only help so much. Vans thought they had that figured out in the 80s, by switching to a cupsole design. While they tackled the wear issues, and comfort, they inherently lost that crucial board feel with their skate shoes. Well, after years of skaters having to just deal with tossing out fairly new pairs of Vans vulcanized shoes, they can proudly say that they’ve come up with a happy medium, and I think this is going to be a great thing. They’ve come up with a new design that combines the new age cupsoles, with a vulcanized outer rubber, that gets attached to the shoe in the same old fashion that Vans has always done it, by baking it. You know what? Just watch the damn video already! It’s pretty entertaining!

Rejoice! The Max Schaaf Era Pro is now available for purchase with the coveted “ollie pad”! Many were upset, or downright pissed that their pre-orders for this shoe, came in without the most defining part of the shoe, the rubber ollie pad. Well, I happen to come across 35th Avenue Skate Shop’s website, and saw that their images of the shoe contained the ollie pad, so I gave them a call, and sure enough, their second shipment came with ollie pads! They’re not sure if it’s a revision, or if it’s just a fluke, being that multiple factories were commissioned to make these shoes. Either way, if you’ve been looking for these, call up 35th Avenue at 253-839-5202, and place your phone order, and tell them that OFFTHEWALLSITE sent you!
The last Ray Barbee collaboration was a solid hit. It just goes to show that the classic shape is much more sought after than the newer shapes of most Vans classic models. This time, there’s an unfamiliar model that’s come along for the ride, although it isn’t a new one by any means. The Epoch was a model that Ray Barbee wore circa’ 95, when Vans were still made in the USA, and it’s back and looking good! The Old Skool is back again, and is looking like an instant cop for me, with the forest green that we saw on the Ray Barbee Era’s, in their classic shape, and white contrast stitching, and accents. Who else needs these?!
