NWT Glow in Dark Vans x Better Gift Shop x AOI Premium Slip-On 98 MTE Kirakira

Release Date: September 13, 2024. Release Article: Together with Canadian retailer Better Gift Shop and Japanese independent label AOI Industry, Vans OTW has created an upgraded slip-on. This Vans Slip On is decorated with AOI Industry’s signature embroidery covering the canvas upper of the collaborative sneaker, as small snowflake-shaped embroidery emerges. These embellishments are clear to see dotted all around the shoe, and really start to become apparent once the sun goes down. Each small embroidered shape on the Vans OTW Slip On is created with a glow-in-the-dark thread. The brand calls this “KiraKira” embroidery, a Japanese term that roughly translates to shining style. Two sizes available (sold separately): - Men's US Size 10 / Women's 11.5, or - Men's US Size 7 / Women's 8.5 Details: The Better Gift Shop x Vans Premium Slip-On 98 MTE 'Kirakira Embroidery' in blue canvas upper; covered in starry multi-color embroidery that glows in the dark; synthetic leather lines the padded low-cut collar for a comfortable fit; elastic gore accents allow for easy on and off; mounted on a vulcanized rubber midsole, accented with a blue foxing stripe; and underfoot, a navy waffle-traction rubber outsole provides superior grip. Sold-out collector’s item—perfect for sneakerheads, fashion collectors, and fans of rare designer collabs. Vibe: Archival streetwear meets Japanese craftsmanship
