The Japanese denim specialists over at FDMTL have a longstanding history of collaborating with Vans, bringing patchworked denim to sneakers like the Slip-On and Authentic.
Now, the duo are teaming up via the new OTW by Vans division for the first time, putting together special takes on the Old Skool 36 and Half Cab 33 that were initially previewed during FDMTL’s Spring/Summer 2025 presentation. Both shoes recreate the look of FDMTL’s signature sashiko stitching, however, they sport a knit textile upper instead of a denim one. Various blues are accompanied by off-white detailing throughout, recreating the Jazz Stripe on each side of the shoe as well. OTW by Vans branding hits the heel while co-branding can be spotted at the sockliner.
At the time of writing, neither FDMTL nor OTW by Vans have announced their forthcoming collaboration featuring the Old Skool 36 and Half Cab 33. Stay tuned for updates, including official campaign info, as select retailers such as BSTN have prepared product pages to release the shoes on May 30 at prices of $135 USD and $140 USD respectively.
