A Heritage-Inspired Skate Shoe that’s Ready to Shred 

The Chukka Low Sidestripe, a vulcanized shoe designed by the Vans skate team and inspired by classics like the Authentic and the Chukka Boot, brings a new heritage aesthetic to this old school skate shoe. Featuring our iconic Sidestripe, this low top silhouette blends classic materials like suede and canvas with the best in boardfeel, flex, and traction.

• ULTIMATE BOARDFEEL, FLEX, AND GRIP - A lighter version of our iconic construction, Pro Vulc Lite features single-wrapped, high-wall vulcanization along with drop-in cushioning.

• POPCUSH CUSHIONING - Our best cushioning and impact protection. PopCush™ energy return footbeds protect your feet while helping to lessen leg fatigue for longer skate sessions. 

• CLASSIC GUM RUBBER GRIP - The Van Doren™ Gum Rubber Compound, made of a rubber that offers grip and support, is what attracted skaters to Vans in the first place. This is the Sole of Skateboarding.

• ICONIC STYLING - Blending our heritage Sidestripe™ with the aesthetic of the original Chukka silhouette, this is a classic low top style made with suede and 10 oz canvas uppers.
