OTW By Vans X Julian Klincewicz Style 31 Shoe India Ink / Black

A Joyous Chorus for Your Feet

OTW by Vans teams up with multi-disciplinary artist Julian Klincewicz to create a collection deeply rooted in Julian’s personal world. Under the banner "Joyous Chorus," everyday sketches, childhood memories from San Diego, and personal symbols merge into a visual language on the classic Style 31 silhouette. The "India Ink" colorway is an invitation not just to own things, but to live them—Julian designed this collection with the idea that the materials only reveal their true character through wear and the adventures that come with it.

Archive Aesthetics Meet Artistic Spontaneität

The Style 31 is completely reinterpreted through the consistent use of shaggy suede—including on the tongue—while a road-trip sketch on the tongue label honors Julian’s eleven-year ritual of daily to-do list drawings. A special highlight is the "Roo" charm, a tribute to Julian’s beloved golden retriever-labrador mix, which adds a deeply human and warm touch to the shoe. Technically, the model impresses with the modern Sola Foam ADC insole and a refined construction that bridges the gap between 90s skate culture and contemporary comfort.
