OTW by Vans Classic Slip-On 98 x Undercover are sneakers that redefine the legendary slip-on silhouette by blending skateboarding aesthetics with cutting-edge Japanese streetwear.
This iteration transforms the iconic low-top silhouette into an expressive and bold canvas thanks to the collaboration with Emma Bennett, a British artist renowned for her naturalistic paintings characterized by strong contrasts. The black canvas upper features the artist's renowned works on the front right and left sides, titled respectively Whence You Came and Ardour.
The stunning still lifes printed on the shoes — featuring roses, grapes, and flames in a Gothic and Baroque style — echo the key graphic motifs that characterized the jackets, tailored suits, and accessories of the UNDERCOVER Men's Spring/Summer 2026 collection, titled “but beautiful 4.5... but beautiful for the rebel man." The minimalist profile of thewhite vulcanized white vulcanized midsole features the printed UNDERCOVER Jun Takahashi logo.
