OTW by Vans x OAMC x WTAPS

OTW by Vans joins forces with OAMC and WTAPS to unveil the Sk8-Hi GL Lug and Seylynn Lug, two distinct silhouettes reimagined through the lens of heritage, innovation, and influence. The collaboration unites three brands deeply rooted in craft and culture, uniting utilitarian cues and elevated craftsmanship for designs made to disrupt.

Vans’ iconic Sk8-Hi shoe gets a rugged update. Built from thick duck canvas, the silhouette introduces utilitarian-driven design elements, including a reimagined Sidestripe that functions as an eyestay, while reinforced foxing and rubber overlays deliver durability. Underfoot, the V-lug outsole provides superior traction and grip, creating a versatile style engineered for performance and utility.

The Seylynn models blend soft suede with refined utility. A co-branded tongue and 10-25 code on the foxing reference tactical communication. Monochromatic eyelets and a creeper toe bumper elevate the design’s minimal aesthetic. Dual lace options for both styles feature aglets stamped “Milan” and “Tokyo,” adding a subtle cultural nod.

“The reason we made these is because we love the city. We love the concrete, the obstacles, the shapes. The rat race, the speed, the energy. The filth, the beauty. Always inspiring, always testing. Tough as nails. Full flavor.” - Luke Meier, Creative Director of OAMC 

"A collection that embodies both delicacy and boldness. The result of combining OAMC and WTAPS in our collaboration with OTW by Vans. References born from watching and growing up in the city.” - Tetsu Nishiyama, Designer, WTAPS

The OTW by Vans x OAMC WTAPS Sk8-Hi GL Lug and Seylynn Lug release in three colorways each and retail for 140/150 USD. Available from November 21st on vans.com/otw.
