Action sports footwear and apparel brand Vans, through its premium line "OTW by Vans," which symbolizes Vans' evolution, will launch a collaboration model "Era 95 Gems" with the Los Angeles-based brand "Satoshi Nakamoto." Lottery sales will commence on the Vans official online store from 0:00 AM on Thursday, April 30, 2026, and general sales will begin on the same day, April 30 (Thursday), at eligible stores.
Sharing an experimental spirit and an underground aesthetic, the two brands have reinterpreted Vans' iconic "Era" silhouette in their unique way.
With "imperfection" and "change" at the core of the design, a pair of shoes has been born that changes its appearance through wear.
The upper features black canvas finished to peel off, gradually revealing the classic checkerboard pattern, a design that evolves over time. The collar lining is roughly finished with exposed foam, and printed shoelaces and sandblasted bead details add unique texture and three-dimensionality to the entire shoe.
Round multi-color gemstones are placed around the ankle, adding delicate accents to the deconstructed silhouette. The sidewalls express a natural aged feel with a hand-wiped black and yellow finish, and a distressed foxing stripe further emphasizes an archival look. The outsole features a translucent material, incorporating a subtle detail where the text "Satoshi Nakamoto" is visible with every step.
"OTW by Vans x Satoshi Nakamoto Era 95 Gems" will be available at the Vans official online store, Vans Store Shibuya PARCO, CHERRY, and Dover Street Market Ginza.
