OTW by Vans x NEIGHBORHOOD Unveil Their Sixth Streetwear Collaboration

OTW by Vans x NEIGHBORHOOD Unveil Their Sixth Streetwear Collaboration

The highly anticipated OTW by Vans x NEIGHBORHOOD collaboration has arrived.

It marks the sixth time these two powerhouse brands have joined forces. This collection debuts two iconic silhouettes: the Half Cab 33 and the Classic Slip-On 98.

Designers reimagined each pair with a distinct vision. This vision comes to life through a blend of modern style and exceptional craftsmanship. Both pairs feature premium suede and leather, detailed with refined tonal stitching.

Signature Detailing of the OTW by Vans x NEIGHBORHOOD Collection

Meticulous attention to detail truly sets this collection apart. This, of course, is a hallmark of both brands that is unmistakable. The Half Cab 33, for example, features “Craft With Pride Tokyo Est. 1994” on its sidewall.

This detail-rich approach continues across the shoe, with bold “Filth” & “Fury” lettering on each toe box. The heel is stamped with “Neighborhood Craft With Pride,” further reinforcing the brand’s core ethos.

The Classic Slip-On 98 correspondingly showcases a subtle, debossed “NBHD” branding on its heel, making this shoe a true collector’s dream.
