About the Vans Old Skool "OTW Sidewall"
The design idea here lives below the upper. Vans has used Off The Wall as a motto since the 1970s, and this make-up takes it off the small heel badge and wraps it around the white sidewall, turning a piece of sole into a place to read something. Because the text circles the shoe, the branding is visible from every angle rather than only from behind.
The upper stays simple to let that work: black across the panels with Racing Red picking out the trim and the leather stripe kept in contrast. It was priced at $60, the standard general-release figure for the model at the time. A padded ankle collar, reinforced toe and the vulcanised rubber sole with its waffle tread complete a build that has not needed changing. Sidewall printing is one of the few places left on a shoe this familiar to put something new, which is why it keeps returning in different forms across the range.
