In September 2007, Vans collaborated with WTAPS, a streetwear brand based in Japan, to give a fresh twist to the timeless Chukka 59 sneaker. This special edition showcases a combination of canvas and suede materials, adorned with a printed crossbones design inspired by a popular Powell Peralta logo from the 80s, prominently displayed on the back. To enhance its aesthetic appeal, the shoe features leather laces and matte metal eyelets, adding a touch of sophistication. The collaboration is further acknowledged through co-branded labels that serve as a seal of approval. Completing the design is the vulcanized sole, renowned for its signature waffle tread pattern, ensuring both style and functionality.
