Vans pushes the boundaries of its heritage with the OTW Classic Slip-On 98, a high-concept reimagining of the skateboarding icon for the SS26 season. Far from a standard archival release, this OTW (Off The Wall) edition injects a dose of surrealism into the silhouette by introducing an oversized knot across the forefoot. Bathed in a vibrant, electric Daphne Blue colorway, the sneaker transforms from a simple utility staple into a bold, sculptural statement.
The design utilizes a premium canvas upper to maintain the model's lightweight skate origins, while the addition of the knotted structural element gives it a contemporary, maximalist-minimalist profile.
