In an attempt to keep up with the premium sneaker market, Vans has just released to Chukka’s composed of real ostrich skin. The Ostrich Chukka are dressed in premium materials along with two simple color-ways, army green and black.
It is not everyday that Vans releases such a release with high tag, but the use of real ostrich skin justifies this high-priced item. Upon the rise of higher quality styles, it is great to see Vans elevating their models to the next level. Now available at Classic Kicks for $350 each. Via hb.

Oh sweet Vans of mine!
not bad, but not great either
i think ne type of chukka is so ugly
Ostrich leather is characterized by raised points that are localized to the center of the hide. The portion with these bumps is called the crown. It's actually the back of the ostrich where the animal's neck meets its body. The bumps are quill follicles where a feather used to reside. On the left and right side of the diamond shaped crown the skin is quite smooth. In fact, only about 1/3 of the whole skin has quill bumps. Since the crown is the most sought after portion and since it constitutes such a small area of the skin, "full quill" ostrich products are considerably expensive when compared to bovine leather. This, along with the fact that it is one of the strongest commercial leathers, leads ostrich leather to be seen as a luxury item.
This is absolutely disgusting. The killing of an animal for its skin to be used in such a way is terrible.
