UNDERCOVER and OTW by Vans Team Up For the Perfect SS26 Drop
Redesigning two classic silhouettes for the new season.
Streetwear heavyweights UNDERCOVER and OTW by Vans have officially joined forces to debut a highly anticipated footwear collaboration featuring two iconic silhouettes: the Classic Slip-On 98 and the Sk8-Hi. Originally teased during Jun Takahashi’s Spring/Summer 2026 Menswear runway show, this partnership seamlessly fuses Vans’ legendary skate heritage with UNDERCOVER’s signature avant-garde aesthetic.
Leading the pack is the Sk8-Hi, which is wrapped in the Japanese label’s distinctive “Spider check” pattern across the upper. Available in sleek black and white colorways, the high-top sneaker features exclusive collaborative logos on the tongue and heel patch, while bold UNDERCOVER branding is stamped cleanly across the outer side of the foxing tape.
For fans of low-tops, the Classic Slip-On 98 serves up wearable art. The sneaker showcases the dramatic work of British artist Emma Bennett, renowned for her striking, high-contrast still-life paintings. Her moody graphics are boldly printed across the upper of the classic silhouette. Co-branded heel patches and precise foxing tape details complete the clean design.
The OTW by Vans x UNDERCOVER collection is available to purchase now exclusively on the UNDERCOVER website and select retailers.
