When Sterling Ruby steps into a design space, it rarely feels predictable. The artist, known for his raw, boundary-pushing aesthetic, has teamed up once again with OTW by Vans under his S.R. STUDIO. LA. CA. label to deliver something few saw coming: the FUTURE CLOG. Following the buzz around the Old Skool 36 and Authentic 44 collabs, this new silhouette is the bold centerpiece of the range, bridging heritage with avant-garde experimentation.

This latest capsule from S.R. STUDIO. LA. CA. and OTW by Vans sees two of Vans' iconic silhouettes—the Old Skool 36 and the Authentic 44—drenched in Sterling Ruby's signature visual chaos.

DOUBLE CANDLE, a pair of seven-meter-tall bronze forms cast from soft Polyfleece, stands like sentinels above the city. The sculpture's patinated surface and retained fabric folds evoke both domestic softness and monumental gravity - drawing parallels to historical statuary, the Twin Towers, and the rooftop chimneys of the Cité itself.
