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."
The OTW by Vans FUTURE CLOG, Old Skool, and Authentic will release this week, with additional colorways to follow. Keep an eye on our Sneaker Releases for updates.
