Parent brands

    OTW by Vans is the highest-tier line intended to redefine the parent brand Vans’ “Off The Wall” spirit through product development and brand experiences. It collaborates with cultural leaders in areas such as art, design, music, and skateboarding, and offers experimental products featuring material and structural innovations, as well as limited collaborations. It is distributed through a dedicated e-commerce experience and a select group of wholesale partners, with a premium, concept-driven positioning distinct from the core line and mass-market collections. It was reorganized in a way that took over the activities of Vault by Vans.
