VANS is on it.

I am still in the mood for chukkas.

The "chukka" is a low-key item in the Vans line of shoes, all of which can be considered masterpieces. Although the Chukka has a certain base of support, and a strong fan base at that, it has always been overshadowed by the "Skehai" and "Slip-on" shoes. Now, however, the collaboration with Akio Hasegawa, a.k.a. A.H., has ignited the popularity of Chukkas, and the brand's popularity has skyrocketed. The more you look at "chukkas," the more modern they seem.

The reason why "Chukka" is "Chukka" is "Chukka" is that it goes well with slacks. After all, the original "chukka boot" is a chukka, so there is no reason why they should not go with slacks. Among all the shoes made by Vans, the Chukka may be the most versatile.

. The popularity of 'chukkas' is growing not only in Japan, but also overseas. And not just from skaters, but from fashion lovers," says Shimada, who works in public relations for Vans. It seems that people are beginning to realize the appeal of 'chukkas' worldwide at the same time.
