OTW by Vans, a dedicated platform where Vans co-creates with trailblazers and innovators who propel culture forward announces its collaboration with New York-based designer, Imran Potato.

Firmly cemented at the crossroads of disruption and design, Imran’s unique perspective is a seamless fit for the visionary mindset of OTW by Vans. Imran has built his creative identity by subverting fashion with humor and honesty in all that he does. Conceptualized from Imran’s deep reverence for the Knu Skool, the designer is back to create a new interpretation of the iconic silhouette.

OTW by Vans and Imran Potato crafted the Knu Skool MTE saluting the ‘90s skate-inspired silhouette updated with overstuffed gusseted tongues, premium watertight suede uppers, custom facets and lugged outsole treads. Inspired by Imran’s pursuits during New York City winters and his passion for snowboarding, the Knu Skool MTE fuses durability and design forms to push the boundaries of product expression. 

The OTW by Vans x Imran Potato Knu Skool MTE in navy will be available to shop on imranpotato.com and curated wholesale partners beginning April 3, 2024. An exclusive black colorway will also be sold on imranpotato.com.
