The Chukka Challengers: Vans Chukka Imitators Posted: 25 May 2009 10:33 AM PDT After seeing the Jordan Campus Chukka hit the web last week, it got us thinking about how many footwear companies have used the Vans Chukka as inspiration for their own Chukka-like silhouettes. Though the simplistic Chukka style has been around since the 50’s, Vans has become the front runner in the classy silhouette. The name Chukka originated from the sport of Polo and somehow stuck over the years. The simple 3 eyelet lace setup has varied since the style originated, as has the simple and sophisticated look. We came across a number of companies that have taken a shot at their own version, some with success, some with epic failure. Click here to take a look at those shoes that have taken inspiration from the Chukka. Let us know your favorite in the comments section.
