OTW by Vans and Sterling Ruby debut their latest collaboration

OTW by Vans and S.R. STUDIO. LA. CA. reunite for their latest collaboration, blending Sterling Ruby’s artistic vision with OTW’s commitment to design innovation.

At the center of the collection is the FUTURE CLOG, a new silhouette that fuses two shoes in one–an organic, minimal mule encased within a sculptural Dutch clog. The drop is completed by the Old Skool and Authentic, accompanied by apparel in marbled yellow tones. The apparel offering consists of a hockey jersey, travel bag, and sock each featuring the OTW by Vans and S.R. STUDIO. LA. CA. co-branding.

For this collection, Sterling explored his family’s heritage, creating a silhouette that is both sculptural and functional. “The maternal side of my family lives in the Netherlands, so I have visited countless times. I fondly remember my grandfather wearing clogs while working in his shop, making gardening tools that were painted bright green. I wanted to honor the tradition of Dutch clogs while pushing them into the future—creating a bold form that remains true to its roots.”
