Hmm, right on. I wonder if Vans uses one factory for sample mockups, and then uses another factory for actual production to keep the counterfeiting down?

Wtaps seekers beware, these are not authentic, and the seller will not guarantee authenticity. Be safe and avoid this auction.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wtaps-Vans-Chuk ... 35c91d7b32
Looking to buy:
.Blends Sk8 Hi in black, 8-9.5 would be accepted. If anyone here has a pair I will trade serious heat for them.
.007 Grime Slip On's (Claw, not the Skull version)
Will pay healthy prices for these. Shoot me a PM.

I guess any 003 wtaps chukka with only 5 bones is pretty much fake...

Sadly yes they are man. When I was really new to the game I bought one of these fake pairs. It's easy to miss the details when you're first starting. It also has to do with the threads in the sole, and the waffle itself. The waffle shouldn't be the shape it is, it should be more narrow. The Supreme Perf Chukka's use the waffle type that is used in the samples from my link.
