Iconic skate publication SNEEZE Mag has partnered with Vans on a new sneaker capsule dubbed the 2022 SNEEZE Mag x Vans Skate Chukka collection. The collaboration sees the two companies join forces to reimagine Vans' iconic Skate Chukka in three new colorways: brown, white, and neon yellow.
Dressed with a durable suede canvas upper, the new Chukka's are certainly built tough. In addition, the updated model arrives with wider laces, a bespoke heavy-duty heel pull, and an extra-thick waffle outsole. In the words of SNEEZE Mag's founder, Nic Fensom, the new models are "meant to be skated and destroyed as any Chukka should."
The new 2022 SNEEZE Mag x Vans Skate Chukka collection will be sold exclusively on SNEEZE's website and at the Dime Store in Montreal, Canada.
