OTW by Vans and HommeGirls work in collaboration to launch a special capsule collection. The independent magazine and apparel brand contributes its creative touch to the collaboration. There are six products including footwear, led by the OTW Sk8-Mid 83 model followed by menswear basics such as Boxer Shorts. The shorts are adorned with the iconic checkerboard print with logos nodding to both efforts.
It is also joined by a ribbed tank top made from soft cotton, which is further detailed with Vans skateboard embroidery. Other apparel features a long-sleeve crop tee with emblems for both OTW by Vans and HommeGirls. It is rounded out by the ribbed Crew Socks with adorable ruffled hemming. The sneakers are crafted from both premium suede and canvas throughout the upper and HommeGirls oversized the iconic Sidestripe motif and elongates the tongue so that it folds over the laces.
