OTW by Vans teams up with UNDERCOVER for a collaboration that merges iconic street heritage with subversive artistic storytelling.

The Old Skool 36 pays tribute to Josep Baqué, a reclusive Spanish police officer turned visionary artist who secretly illustrated over 1,500 surreal hybrid creatures during the 1930s—his work only discovered decades after his death.

The Era 95, on the other hand, features embroidered Jack Russell Terriers sketched by Jun Takahashi himself, referencing his own beloved dogs and blending personal memory with gothic elegance.

Crafted with technical precision and rich in symbolism, the capsule blurs the lines between sneaker culture, visual art, and dreamlike abstraction.
