OTW by Vans Unites with OAMC and WTaps for a Triple Collaboration Release

OTW by Vans joins forces with OAMC and WTAPS for a triple collaboration featuring the Sk8-Hi GL Lug and Seylynn Lug, releasing on November 21. The project blends the three brands’ technical approaches and cultural perspectives into two rugged, utility-driven designs.

OTW by Vans is releasing a new triple collaboration with OAMC and WTAPS on November 21, introducing two footwear models: the Sk8-Hi GL Lug and the Seylynn Lug. The partnership brings together the craft-driven approach of OAMC and the cultural grounding of WTAPS within the progressive design framework of OTW by Vans.

 

The Sk8-Hi GL Lug reworks Vans’ iconic Sk8-Hi using heavy duck canvas and added utility details to create a tougher, more functional build. The Seylynn Lug pairs soft suede with a refined utility aesthetic, offering a different but complementary take. Both models come with two sets of laces, and the aglets engraved with “Milano” and “Tokyo” pay tribute to the cities that shaped OAMC and WTAPS. Additional features—such as reinterpreting the side stripe as an eyestay, reinforced foxing tape, rubber overlays, and a lug outsole—enhance durability, grip, and traction. Collaborative labels on the tongue and “10-25” markings on the foxing underscore the project’s tactical mood.

 

The collection will be available through the WTAPS online store, WTAPS LAB, and select WTAPS stockists in Japan and abroad, including locations in Kyoto, Osaka, Fukuoka, Shanghai, and Hong Kong.
