Andrew Rizzo Joined by a similar, rebellious brand ethos, UNDERCOVER and Vans OTW have reconvened on a new footwear capsule for Fall 2024.
The four-pack consisting of two Vans Era and Sk8-Mid colorways first surfaced back in January as part of UNDERCOVER’s FW24 preview, and now detailed campaign imagery has arrived along with a arrogant release date. Much like other projects in the duo’s extensive collaborative catalog, we see yet another masterful fusion of brand hallmarks.
UNDERCOVER’s “Anarchy Is The Key” slogan, which has been utilized liberally since the 90s, settles on both Sk8-Mid colorways. Flaunted below by artist and model Briseppe, both the red and blue versions feature the same repetitive, broken up, and flipped upside-down typography that’s accounted for several prized t-shirts throughout the years.
Meanwhile, UNDERCOVER’s Dracula motif shines through on two checkered Vans Era colorways. The shoes are decorated by eerie hand graphics with painted nails, complete with UNDERCOVER branding on the lateral side of the midsole. One pair features the iconic black and white checkerboard pattern, while its counterpart suits a blood-sucking theme in black and red.
The Vans OTW x UNDERCOVER capsule drops first on undercoverism.com (July 13th) and then again on otw.vans.com (July 16th), with prices ranging from $95-$100. Notably, the “Black/Red” Vans Era and “Black/Blue” Sk8-Mid are exclusive to undercoverism.com.
