Summary
OTW by Vans has reunited with Satoshi Nakamoto to introduce the collaborative Era 95 Gems silhouette
The sneaker features a tearaway Navy canvas upper that exposes a classic checkerboard underlay alongside multicolor gemstones and exposed foam

OTW by Vans has officially revealed the collaborative Satoshi Nakamoto Era 95 Gems, extending its creative partnership through a raw, dystopian aesthetic lens. Built around experimentation and subversive design, the collaborative silhouette embraces natural wear and deliberate imperfection as central design elements.
The shoe centers on a tearaway Navy canvas upper designed to erode with wear, gradually revealing a classic checkerboard pattern underlay beneath. Exposed foam lining the collar provides a deconstructed look, which is juxtaposed against round multicolor gemstones embedded along the ankle collar for calculated precision and contrast. The shoe is laced with a primary printed lace displaying repeating “Satoshi” text, accented with sandblasted bead detailing to introduce tactile dimension.
Underfoot, the vulcanized sidewalls receive a hand-wiped black and yellow patina, creating a naturally aged aesthetic that works alongside a distressed foxing stripe. Rounding out the build, a translucent crystal outsole showcases “Satoshi Nakamoto” branding across the tread, engineered to show through during movement.
The OTW by Vans x Satoshi Nakamoto Era 95 Gems is available beginning Friday, October 16 via Vans
