With all the classic styles, updates and new models Vans is releasing these days, a few models are bound to slide into the background. The Vans Chukka Low is one of these, a model that’s still quietly cranking out new styles but that has kept a relatively lower profile in recent months. This latest rendition gets back to what made this style so popular in the early part of this century, opting for a grey hemp upper atop gum sole for a tastefully neutral look. Check out more images below, then grab yours at shops like Concepts.

The last time the word ‘Inca’ was associated with an Off the Wall release was back in 2010 when Vans Vault issued the fondly remembered ‘Inca Flower’ Sk8-Hi. Here’s another Vans Sk8-Hi with embroidery detailing on the sides, but instead of a two-tone look as in the case of the aforementioned release, the ‘True Blue Inca’ goes for additional shades that bring the orange and blue suedes together. Let us know how they compare after you’ve seen more images below, then grab your True Blue Inca Sk8-His at shops like Wish.

Vans expands their ‘Inca’ weave with another release following the blue and orange Sk8-Hi. The Vans Half Cab ‘Inca’ has roughly the opposite color distribution, as Adobe orange suede adds blue branding patches and a multicolor collar at the ankle. With both of these releases available just in time for summer, it might come down to which silhouette or dominant color you prefer, unless you plan to grab both. Check out this latest Half Cab after the jump, then buy yours at shops like Concepts.

What does Vans have in store for the fourth quarter? The world’s leading skate brand is big enough that it would take some time to fully answer that question, but here’s a smattering of what’s to come. We’ll start in the OTW Collection, where the new Vans Bushwick makes a strong first impression. This hightop CVO has huarache-like ankle cutouts that provide support and reveal underlying materials, in this case, colorful leopard prints. Fellow OTWs the Alomar is back and another new model joins the bunch in the Lynwood hightop.
