OTW by Vans x Gallery Dept.
OTW by Vans x Gallery Dept.: A Dialogue Between Art & Process
2025-12-11

Vans joins forces with Gallery Dept. for an exclusive collaboration through OTW by Vans on the Authentic 44. Drawing inspiration from the raw energy of a painter’s studio, every detail of this collaboration merges disruptive art with classic craftsmanship.

Each pair is designed with a meticulously hand-painted aesthetic. Paint drips cascade across the toe, while subtle grease marks add depth and texture to the vamp and sidewalls. The clean quarters and heel act as a blank canvas, allowing the unique artistry on the upper to take center stage.

Embracing the beauty of spontaneity and imperfection, this collection honors the creative process itself. The "Art That Kills" text wrapping the sidewall serves as a testament to the fearless, unapologetic nature of artistic expression.

Beginning December 11th, the OTW by Vans x Gallery Dept. Authentic 44 will retail at vans.com/otw and selected OTW by Vans and Gallery Dept. retailers worldwide.
