VANS OTW X JULIAN KLINCEWICZ

The OTW by Vans x Julian Klincewicz SS26 collection arrives at Urbanstaroma as a synesthetic celebration of skate culture and analog nostalgia. This exclusive collaboration between the Californian powerhouse and the multidisciplinary artist transcends a simple archival revival, transforming classic silhouettes into fragments of a visual narrative that bridges the dust of 1990s California skate parks with sophisticated modern craftsmanship. Every piece in the capsule is infused with Klincewicz’s poetic vision, where color and textile treatments serve as tools to evoke memories and tactile sensations, resulting in wearable art that feels both avant-garde and deeply lived-in.

At the core of the release are the footwear icons, where models like the Old Skool 36 and Style 31 are deconstructed and re-imagined with bold palettes. The Old Skool 36 'Mango Mojito' challenges convention by blending high-texture green suede with vibrant mango canvas, elevated by gold heel graphics and a playful dog-shaped charm—a signature of the artist’s irreverent approach. Alongside the sneakers, the apparel line mirrors this spirit through the OTW Washed SS Tee, offered in striking shades like Mandarin Red, and structured carpenter pants, all featuring specialized washes that grant the cotton the immediate softness and soul of a cherished vintage find.

The collection is rounded out by accessories designed for those who view style as a permanent creative project, such as the Tote Bag in a refined Natural tone — a manifesto of raw material purity — and multicolor socks that complete the collection’s chromatic circle. Exploring the OTW by Vans x Julian Klincewicz range at Urbanstaroma means diving into a design ecosystem where skateboarding functionality meets a refined editorial aesthetic. It is an invitation to wear creativity itself, choosing pieces that perfectly balance Vans’ historic heritage with the multidisciplinary edge of one of the contemporary scene’s most compelling creators.
