OTW by Vans x FDMTL

2025-05-27

OTW by Vans has joined forces with FDMTL for their sixth collaboration. Known for their intricate denim and traditional Japanese techniques, FDMTL aligns with Vans’ commitment to quality and heritage. The collaboration, featuring an Old Skool 36 EK and Half Cab 33 EK allows OTW to incorporate unique, artisanal elements with premium materials.


The concept of the launch is based on a traditional Japanese handcraft technique called Sashiko, which involves decorative stitching over layers of fabric. OTW by Vans x FDMTL created a Sashiko-inspired pattern using Vans Engineered Knit technology.


Featuring true white stitching and punched eyelets, the Old Skool 36 EK features an outsole highlighted with a Citadel hue and Marshmallow foxing. The Half Cab 33 EK features these elements with a custom FDMTL woven hang flag.

OTW by Vans x FDMTL is available from May 30 on vans.com/otw.
