OTW by Vans and S.R. STUDIO. LA. CA continue their creative partnership with a new collection that brings together Sterling Ruby’s artistic vision and OTW’s commitment to innovation.

‍

The spotlight falls on the FUTURE CLOG — a bold new silhouette that merges two shoe forms into one: a sleek, minimal mule reimagined through the distinctive lines of traditional clogs and transformed into a modern, sculptural design.

‍

The drop is rounded out by the Old Skool and Authentic, alongside apparel in marbled yellow tones. The apparel offering features a hockey jersey, travel bag, and socks, all co-branded with OTW by Vans and S.R. STUDIO. LA. CA.

For this collection, Sterling drew inspiration from his family roots, designing a silhouette that balances sculptural expression with functionality.

‍

"The maternal side of my family lives in the Netherlands, so I have visited countless times. I fondly remember my grandfather wearing clogs while working in his shop, making gardening tools that were painted bright green.

I wanted to honor the tradition of Dutch clogs while pushing them into the future — creating a bold form that remains true to its roots."
