Vans Chukka Low Team Series (Spring 2010)

I said it before, and I'll say it again. For me, spring and summer are when fashion is at its best. These days, it is way too cold to be fresh. That said, sneakers ans shoes obviously are at the forefront of my mind, most of the time. Vans always catch my eye because of the simplicity of their design, but also because of how many variations can come of that simplicity. This spring Vans is releasing a Chukka sneaker in four colorways based on four different riders (Alex Olson, Chima Ferguson, Keegan Sauder, and Chris Pfanner). Three of the four have two-tone pallets and contrast lacing, with suede uppers. The fourth one features metallic silver leather. Check them out...

Vans Vault Chukka Mok Collection

I really haven't seen a lot of upcoming sneakers that I'm really hyped for. Dunks, Jordans, Air Maxes and things of that nature have lost their appeal to me because of how many retroes there are and how lame some of the new releases have been. Not to say that I'll ever be over those sneakers, but switching up the stee-lo isn't a bad look. These Vans aren't either. They definitely have a more mature look to them. I'm digging the nubuck material and the simple yet classic design. Peep these close-ups of the Vans Mok Collection...
