Vans OTW Sk8-Hi GL Lug OAMC-WTAPS

OTW by Vans partners with OAMC out of Milan, Italy, and WTAPS out of Tokyo, Japan, in a collaboration that reinterprets heritage and innovation through each brand’s distinct cultural lens. Bringing together three labels rooted in craft and culture, the project delivers a fresh design perspective intended to challenge and disrupt.

The Vans OTW Sk8-Hi GL Lug receives a rugged upgrade. Crafted from heavy-duty duck canvas, the silhouette incorporates utilitarian design details, including a reinterpreted Sidestripe that doubles as an eyestay. Reinforced foxing and rubber overlays enhance durability, while the signature V-lug outsole delivers superior traction and grip. The result is a versatile, performance-driven style built for both function and everyday wear.

'The reason we made these is because we love the city. We love the concrete, the obstacles, the shapes. The rat race, the speed, the energy. The filth, the beauty. Always inspiring, always testing. Tough as nails. Full flavor.' - Luke Meier, Creative Director of OAMC
'A collection that embodies both delicacy and boldness. The result of combining OAMC and WTAPS in our collaboration with OTW by Vans. References born from watching and growing up in the city.' - Tetsu Nishiyama, Designer, WTAPS

OAMC, based in Milan, Italy and led by Creative Director Luke Meier, develops modern, high-quality collections built on innovative materials, precise craftsmanship, and a clear, forward-thinking design vision.
In 1993, FORTY PERCENT AGAINST RIGHTS® was started by director Tetsu Nishiyama, as a predecessor brand, and in 1996 WTAPS officially started as an apparel line. The Tokyo brand continue to release collections twice a year.
