Designed for urban exploration and crafted for longevity. This limited release stands at the intersection of function, fashion, and cultural authenticity. Designed in Italy under Luke Meier, OAMC merges traditional tailoring with advanced material innovation. WTAPS, a cornerstone of Harajuku’s ’90s streetwear, channels utilitarian aesthetics with skate-driven attitude. Through OTW by Vans, these two distinct visions collide to reimagine the Vans archive for a new generation.
Vans is unveiling a special three-way collaboration within its premium OTW by Vans line, teaming up with OAMC and WTAPS. By combining their individual cultural influences and craftsmanship, the brands introduce two newly designed silhouettes: the Sk8-Hi GL Lug and the Seylynn Lug. The goal of this partnership is to explore fresh creative territory by merging the distinct design philosophies of all three labels.
The Sk8-Hi GL Lug updates the classic Sk8-Hi with a sturdier build, featuring durable canvas and functional, rugged accents that enhance its longevity. The Seylynn Lug, on the other hand, leans into a cleaner utility aesthetic, crafted from soft suede for a more refined look. Both models sit on a pronounced lug sole that provides strong traction. Each pair also includes two sets of laces with engraved aglets reading ‚Milano‘ and ‚Tokyo‘ as a subtle tribute to the cities connected to the collaboration. To offer variety, both shoes are being released in three color options: Black, Duck Camo, and Desert Camo.
RELEASE of the OTW by Vans OAMC / WTAPS collection is Friday, November 21st.
