Yeah, it’s a verbatim Vans Chukka Boot knock off, but it seems as though the boys at Radiall beat the originators to the punch on this one. Released earlier this year, the Vans Wingtip Eras proved to be a popular item, so why not extend the concept onto the mid-cut Chukka? Features a clean suede upper with leather lining and contrasting midsole. Details such as an embossed cross on the tongue and a “Vatos” heel tab highlight Radiall’s Hispanic inspiration. In store now at Lighca.

Some of our favorite shoes out of the Vans Vault Fall 2008 collection were released today – the Cup LX Series. Part of the series of the Chukka Boot Cup LX and the Authentic Cup LX. Both come in light and dark brown. Not only did Vans give thepack high quality nubuck leathers for the uppers, they also added tartan check patterns on the lining and most importantly gave the series cup soles to increasecomfort and style.
The outcome is a rock solid pack by Vans, that can almost compete with the likes of Common Projects.
The Vans Vault Fall 2008 Cup LX Series is now available at Caliroots.
