The Vans OTW Alomar, Bedford and Ludlow are depicted further after the jump, so have a closer and get ready because they hit select OTW stockists in June.

Vans hasn’t issued all that many woven sneakers in recent memory, and even fewer that opt for this basket-ish style that’s a favorite for Nike Sportswear. Looking back through the Sneaker News archives, we see that the short-lived cycling-inspired Supercorsa was one of the only designs to see such a release. That changes with the new Vans OTW ‘Woven Pack’, as the successful Ludlow and its successor the Prelow both opt for unique leather builds that you can see in detail below and this month at select Vans OTW stores.

Vans Vault just turned ten years old. The brand’s OTW Collection is only a quarter of the way there as of today, but by continuing to embrace new materials and designs, this skate-inspired lifestyle sneaker collection has what it takes to stand the test of time.

Further evidence of the convergence of menswear, streetwear, skate and other fashion niches converging can be seen in the newest trio from Vans OTW. Their upcoming ‘Feather Pack’ features an embroidered pattern you might expect from J.Crew and its peers in the preppy space. And the pack itself covers ground from obvious skate to chukka-derived lifestyle effort, the new Vans OTW Lasdun and Howell, respectively, with the Ludlow somewhere in the middle, a sort of inside-out Authentic (a skate icon originally conceived as a deck shoe). Let us know how this embroidered trio compares to the more ornate ‘Birds’ and ‘Trout’ drops and look for these at select retailers in January.
