The OTW Mary Jane Prima Faded Black Waffle represents the ultimate union between the punk-rock aesthetic of the 1990s and the rebellious soul of California skateboarding. This silhouette, once confined to the world of formal fashion, is here twisted and reinterpreted through the OTW by Vans filter, transforming into a genderless and subversive style icon.
The Faded Black coloring gives the material a worn, almost dusty look that evokes the aesthetics of found archival garments. The star detail is the application of the Waffle pattern on the upper: the famous Vans sole weave is brought to the surface, becoming a graphic and textural element that redefines the structure of the shoe. The strap closure with metallic buckle adds a touch of raw elegance, creating a magnetic contrast with the solid vulcanized sole.
