Update: After news of the S.R. STUDIO. LA. CA. x OTW by Vans Old Skool 36 and Vans Authentic 44 surfaces earlier this month, the official lookbook images have materialized – featuring an additional third dual-minded shoe.
Complementing the collaborative OTW by Vans Old Skool 36 and the OTW by Vans Authentic 44 comes the centerfold of the range: the new model, the FUTURE CLOG.
A slip-on silhouette, the shoe takes a hybrid structure of sorts, combining the silhouette of a minimal mule with that of a sculptural Dutch clog – a highly intentional source of inspiration for Sterling Ruby.
"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," Ruby said in a press statement.
"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."
