2025-09-12
OTW by Vans has joined forces with Engineered Garments. Vans’ commitment to timeless, functional design and cultural authenticity aligns seamlessly with Engineered Garments’ philosophy of creating pieces that evolve through personal experience, embracing asymmetry and craftsmanship with purpose.
“We wanted to look back and focus on the past not only within our partnership but to what we knew of Vans. The colorways we chose were influenced by an archival Vans advertisement of the Authentic. The image had a skater with two different colored Authentics and a quote reading they’d switched one side of the pair with a friend who skated the opposite stance. Taking an impactful image and incorporating colorblocking, a signature of Engineered Garments, onto our favorite Slip-On.”
The OTW by Vans x Engineered Garments Slip-On 98 comes in two colorways, the Red & Navy colorway and Black & Blue; each in a different hue.
OTW by Vans x Engineered Garments is available from August 28 on vans.com/en-us/otw and retails for 100 USD.

About Engineered Garments
Engineered Garments was founded by Daiki Suzuki in New York in 1999, after taking inspiration from his years buying for the Nepenthes stores in their early stages, and combining it with his own vision. As a brand, our aim is to make garments that become more personal through the experiences you have with them. We value unique garment construction with attention to detail, with meaning and hidden qualities behind each design. We venture into conflicting themes, straying from “perfect design”. We are not designed but engineered. engineeredgarments.com @engineered_garments_official
