Stumbled across these ballistic chukka lows on ebay.

Im down for the black pair, I like the similarities to the Land & Seas.

Easy pass. Just as lame as the derby's.

Pass... already got the Civilist Chukka Low.

haha yeah its pretty much the GR version of the Civilist Chukka Low

Blacks are pretty nice, but I've got a million black shoes already. I wish the reds were more red and less maroon. I'd be tempted if that was the case.

Yup, I was hoping the red would be actually red. I might've been into that. The blacks are cool but not enough to warrant ANOTHER black/white pair in my collection.

I don't have Civilist's, so I will be getting the blacks hopefully. I can pass on the Port Red's though.

BTW, I added a pic from the eBay page to your post luis!

They look nice. I would definitely shred a few of these if the quality is on point (wth the rubber and all).

There's a backpack releasing as well...I will need that for sure.

Same! Hope I can find soeone to pick that up for me. Maybe Brant will get them.

Oh what, gotta check it out. 50/50 on these.

Pass.

I'm in for a backpack...

From a skating perspective, it's good that they've got an ollie pad, of sorts, but the one pair of Chukka Lows I tried to skate were awful.
Can't get behind skating these, so it's too bad it's not just a full side of ballistic nylon.
