Vans has released the OTW Authentic 44 Siped Vibram in 'Amphibian Deep Indigo,' a new skate shoe blending rugged construction with frog-like design elements. The sneaker features hairy suede uppers, siped Vibram soles for superior wet traction, and patterns mimicking pebbly frog skin. It builds on recent Vibram-soled models from the brand.
The OTW Authentic 44 stands out with its high-end build, including a crisp leather collar and textured details that evoke amphibian skin. Siped Vibram soles ensure reliable grip on slippery surfaces by channeling water away.
