Italy Independent x Vans ‘Independent’ Chukka

Italian design has long been synonymous with top of the line materials, and in this collaboration between Vans and Italy Independent that tradition holds true. This special Vans Chukka comes in a tough mixture of Kevlar and oiled leather, resulting in a rich set of blacks laying over the shoe. This collaboration is a full package, with a hybridized American-Italian flag on the inside of the box and on the outsole graphics. The laces here carry the motto for this release “being independent means writing one’s own history”. The Italy Independent x Vans ‘Independent’ Chukka will be a limited release, with 600 pairs available exclusively through Italy Independent. Take a full look at the sneakers after the jump and let us know in the comments how you feel about this Italian-American collabo. via FreshNGood
