Post by: tysj! on September 01, 2009, 11:44:47 AM: I in all honesty would rather skate a Vox shoe than a Vans shoe from past experiences.

Post by: Fongstarr. on September 01, 2009, 11:47:11 AM: There is like little to no creativity behind this. At least put a Vox twist on it.

So, vox will have over 2 models and 10 colorways to buy for under $45.

That shit is awesome.

Post by: kamltoe on September 01, 2009, 01:23:57 PM: vox's soles are way better than vans. and the profile is a little taller which makes sense. i'm backing it. and for the record, vans wasn't the first to make a chukka, so every chukka isn't a vans ripoff (they just look like it) :)

Post by: vihreekerma on September 02, 2009, 06:13:32 AM: will probably skate good and the price sounds GOOD! not 80euros(110 Dollars) from some vans that wil last one to two weeks...but sad that these are just some another chukka-low rip off!

Post by: snickers on September 02, 2009, 08:06:48 AM: i've never skated vox, but at that price, its worth a shot.

Post by: poocrusher on September 02, 2009, 01:09:12 PM: Just so everyone stops mentioning that the chukka was invented by vans...

http://www.footwearhistory.com/50smens.shtml (http://www.footwearhistory.com/50smens.shtml)

"Chukka Boots: An ankle high boot for men and boys, laced with two sets of eyelets and made of unlined sueded cowhide with thick crepe-rubber soles. Originally worn by polo players, but adopted for general wear in the 1950’s."

"The name is derived from the playing periods of a polo game which are called chukkers."

Everyone acts as if Vans never bit anything from anyone and that they are completely original, but pretty much every shoe they make is a rip of some sort of Clarks of London dress shoe with a vulc sole.

Post by: iliketoskateboardandstuff on September 02, 2009, 06:16:51 PM: I really dig that Vox is making decent shoes and putting a sick pricetag on them...really thinking of the customer and it's something that I appreciate.
