The OTW by Vans x Beatrice Domond collaboration introduces a unique footwear collection that bridges personal heritage and innovative design. This exclusive drop honors Beatrice’s story through style and substance.
A Fusion of Heritage and Modern Design
The centerpiece of this collaboration is the OTW by Vans Mary Jane DS by Beatrice Domond. This shoe reimagines the classic Vans Mary Jane silhouette with a rugged statement outsole, offering a bold yet timeless aesthetic. The premium leather and suede upper in monochromatic black is complemented by luxurious goatskin linings, ensuring both durability and sophistication. Adding a deeply personal touch, the sockliner features a digitally printed map of Haiti, paying homage to Beatrice’s roots. The custom packaging, inspired by retro Vans skate boxes, is adorned with her signature and logo, making this a collector’s item for sneaker enthusiasts.
Storytelling Through a Campaign Film
To celebrate the collection, Beatrice teamed up with director Sandy Kim to create a heartfelt campaign film. Co-directed by Beatrice and her partner Z Inwoon, the film showcases intimate conversations with her grandmother Elise in Miami, exploring themes of family, identity, and perseverance. Set against the backdrop of Haitian Creole and English exchanges, the film offers a glimpse into Beatrice’s upbringing, her skateboarding career, and her journey toward self-expression. The tribute to her grandmother and mother underscores the personal significance of this collaboration.
Beatrice’s Vision and Legacy
“This project is a way for me to share my Haitian ancestry and honor my family,” Beatrice explains. “It’s a tribute to the women who’ve supported my dreams.” The OTW by Vans Mary Jane DS by Beatrice Domond symbolizes more than footwear—it’s a celebration of culture, community, and individuality.
