It’s been awhile since we’ve seen a nice and simple Chukka, and we think it’s due for a comeback. Of course, leave it up to Proper to help guide our fashion senses in the right direction, by bringing back an OG Triple OG with their latest offering of this set of OG Chukka LX’s. You may first mistake these for being part of the Vault mainline, but make no mistake that these were made specifically for Proper. Branding was kept extremely minimal, by way of a footbed logo, as well as a logo embroidered on the back side of the side flag. That’s it. The colorways chosen, look right out of your favorite OG lineup. Simple. Subtle. Timeless. Hopefully Vans won’t make similar colorways down the line, so not to take away from the originality that Proper is always known for. This day and age, we seem to be over-saturated with collaborations or just the idea of collaborations, but sometimes a collaborative product doesn’t need any special materials, branding, or story to be cool. Sometimes just the idea of re-introducing something kind of forgotten is enough, and that’s sort of the vibe I get with this pack. MAKE CHUKKAS GREAT AGAIN!
