Vans x Bodega x Real Tree Chukka LX

The only Vans I own, just had to have them. The whole upper is buttery nubuck leather. And the liner is real tree hunting camo canvas. Super comfortable.

These still for sale or have any other styles? Love real tree anything but can't stand chukkas.

Nope it was an old release. I think 2009.  I had the Real Tree Nike SB Dunk Mids, but the canvas quality was super shitty.

Deciding to relive a bit of my youth I thought I'd get another pair of Vans, specifically sk8 hi or mid's…..anyway, after a lot of searching I finally narrowed it down to the Jeff Grosso 'Legends' release, in red/black, but they seem to be sold out everywhere - anyone on here any ideas where I might get some?

[madmonday]

I'm looking for 2003 Wtap Vans Authentics. It's so rare  now

This thread has inspired me to buy some chukkas!  How do they fit?  Similar to Nikes or other athletic footwear?  I'm an US 13 in Nike and Adidas for reference.

99% of the classic vans run about a half size big. The chukka boot seems a little bit smaller than the chukka low and most other classic vans. I usually rock a 9.5 in vans (era, authentic, chukka low), but the chukka boot I can rock in 10 which is my tts. In other words almost all vans classics fit about the same as converse Jack Purcells and about a half size smaller than chuck taylors.

Old vans are soooooooooo comfortable

Does anyone have a source for the black/gum chukka in US size 13?  I can find the black/black but I want this colorway!

[Graeme]

Dimitri Coste had a very cool pair of flat track boots run up by Vans.

More at Hell for Leather and the Sideburn blog. I'll take a pair in US14 with the shift pad on the left boot.

Vans Syndicate Native American-Rodney Smith Pack. There is also a red Vans Era that goes with the pack.  Suede, Perforated Suede and Tumbled Leather upper. Butter soft leather liner and gel heel insole. For $125, they were more than worth it.
