The collaboration sees the two companies join forces to reimagine [Vans'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vans-varsity-collection) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/authentichtvibram). 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixxa) in Montreal, Canada.
