OTW by Vans and NEIGHBORHOOD® Debut an Authentic 44
2026-08-03
OTW by Vans has joined forces with NEIGHBORHOOD® merging modern style and craftsmanship with premium quality. The Authentic 44 is raw, refined, and built with intent.


Premium suede, monochrome coloring and custom embossing bring NEIGHBORHOOD®’s signature aesthetic to the iconic silhouette. Staying true to its original DNA, the legendary low-top features a vulcanized build and Sola Foam ADC insole for all-day comfort.
Signature details of the Authentic 44 include “Craft With Pride Tokyo Est. 1994” on the foxing tape and “NEIGHBORHOOD® Tokyo Est. 1994 Technical Apparel Craft With Pride” stacked on the toe box. Premium details include a lace-up closure for an adjustable fit, leather heel strip and binding and a woven co-branded tongue label. Both pairs are finished with tonal stitching.
