Vans has teamed up with legendary photographer Atiba Jefferson for a fresh take on the classic Authentic 44. Known for capturing powerful moments in skateboarding and music, Jefferson now brings his storytelling to footwear with OTW by Vans.
This special edition of the Authentic 44 comes in a black-and-white design featuring Jefferson’s own photos of two cultural icons: skater John Cardiel and musician Franz Lyons. The images cover the upper, lining, and even the sole of the shoe, making it feel like walking in a piece of history.
Apart from the photo prints, the design is kept simple. The only extra detail is the co-branding on the insole, where “ATIBA” is placed above the OTW by Vans logo. This minimal branding allows the photos and their stories to remain the center of attention.
Overall, this release is not just footwear but a piece of art that celebrates skate and music culture through Jefferson’s lens.
