OTW by Vans teams up with OAMC and WTAPS to unveil the Sk8-Hi GL Lug and Seylynn Lug — two silhouettes reimagined through their shared design DNA, a forward-thinking approach to innovation, and a distinctly urban point of view.

The three brands share a deep commitment to craft and culture, and this collaboration channels that connection into a modern, progressive approach made for the streets.

The Sk8-Hi GL Lug receives a functional overhaul: its durable Duck Canvas construction is paired with utilitarian design details for a more robust, purpose-driven build.

The Sidestripe is reengineered to double as a functional eyestay, while reinforced foxing and added rubber overlays enhance durability. Underfoot, the V-lug outsole delivers confident grip and traction — a design that blends versatility with performance.

The Seylynn Lug pairs soft suede with a refined, minimal utility aesthetic.
A co-branded tongue and a “10-25” code on the foxing nod to tactical communication, while monochrome eyelets and a creeper-style toe bumper sharpen the shoe’s understated character.

Both styles come with two lace options, each finished with aglets stamped “Milan” and “Tokyo” — a subtle nod to the cultural influences behind the collaboration.

“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
