Vans has unveiled the OTW Slip-On 98 Knot Vibram, a new take on its classic skate shoe featuring a prominent knotted rope detail and Vibram outsoles. The sneaker, part of the brand's high-end OTW line, provides enhanced traction and premium materials. It goes on sale today on Vans' website for $110 in black/white and tonal blue colorways.
The Slip-On 98 Knot Vibram transforms the easy-on skate classic into a bold statement piece with its oversized knotted rope accent. Vans designed the shoe with Vibram soles for better grip on various surfaces, making it suitable beyond skate ramps. As an OTW model, it incorporates top-tier finishes typical of the imprint's adventurous lineup. The OTW collection elevates Vans' iconic silhouettes, such as Half Cabs resembling outdoor boots and brogue Authentics akin to dress shoes, often including features like GORE-TEX. Vans announced the release ahead of its launch on April 14. Priced at $110, the sneaker targets fans seeking versatile, stylish footwear that blends skate heritage with high-end appeal.
