OTW by Vans collaborates with Julian Klincewicz on a collection built around his Joyous Chorus artworks.

The artist translates daily sketches, textures, and personal symbols into new versions of classic Vans silhouettes, alongside apparel and accessories.

The footwear lineup centers on two archival silhouettes: The Old Skool 36 and the Style 31. Both models combine suede overlays with leather details, custom labels, and a Roo charm dedicated to Klincewicz’s dog.

The labels feature a Road Sketch graphic that references his eleven-year ritual of daily to-do list drawings.

The shoes are finished with a padded insole, a softly padded collar, Sola Foam ADC, a co-branded Joyous Chorus footbed, an OTW heel scab, and Vans’ signature waffle outsole.

The Old Skool 36 arrives in Ivy Green and Mango Mojito Orange, while the Style 31 comes in Ink. Klincewicz’s visual language continues across the apparel and accessories, including a Collared Fleece made from a French Terry cotton blend with a vintage wash and a Roo keychain on the zipper pull.

Two Vintage Washed T-Shirts in Mandarin Red and Pepper Orange feature Joyous Chorus artworks as screenprints, while the Carpenter Pant is crafted from durable canvas with pleated pockets, custom rivets, and contrast stitching.

The collection is rounded off by a Tote Bag with a Joyous Chorus screenprint, antique brass hardware, and a Roo keychain, alongside a Fuzzy Sock Pack made from a wool blend with jacquard artwork.

Throughout the collection, Klincewicz reflects on early memories of Southern California: skating, beach culture, music, new friendships, and long summer days at the skatepark. It also taps into a classic Vans idea: Shoes and clothing gain more character the more they are worn.
