SATOSHI NAKAMOTO x OTW by Vans Old Skool | Release Date ...
Succeeding their F/W 2023 releases, menswear label Satoshi Nakamoto, named after the Bitcoin founder, reunites with Vans for another go at the Old Skool.
snkrdunk.comHere’s the latest I can confirm based on recent coverage:
- What’s available: Vans has continued the collaboration with Satoshi Nakamoto on the Old Skool 36, including colorways and embellishments that echo the brand’s crypto-inspired aesthetic, with reports describing speckled moving-blanket greys and pearl/bead embellishments on some editions. This mirrors earlier releases that featured studded or jeweled detailing and distressed, “aged” finishes.[1][3]
- Notable releases and angles: A grey/Moving Blanket-inspired Old Skool 36 has been highlighted as a returning colorway, incorporating subtle multi-color specks and more handcrafted-looking details, per recent coverage of a grey edition. Additional pieces in the same collaboration have focused on jewel-like embellishments and beaded accents across various Vans silhouettes, continuing the collaboration’s trend of high-bling finishes.[2][7][1]
- Availability and official positioning: Vans’ own product pages for OTW x Satoshi Nakamoto Old Skool 36 describe the collaboration as blending “distorts legacy” and a dystopian edge, with details like reinforced originals-inspired outsoles and unique branding cues. Availability typically includes Vans’ official store drops and select retailers, with pricing often reflecting premium-range territory due to embellishments.[5]
Illustration (example): A grey Old Skool 36 with pearlized/-speckled upper and contrasting black suede overlays, featuring subtle embroidery on the tongue and jewel accents around the midsole.
