The Future Clog is a two-part clog combining an inner mule and a removable closed outer shell that forms a sculptural single piece. The rear features a large opening for foot entry with no straps, laces, or external fasteners. A circular button on the shell's side connects the two parts while allowing the inner mule to be worn alone. The sole and upper are molded as one unified unit with built-in elevated tread formed directly in the mold. The design uses angular planes and a hollow cavity to reduce weight while maintaining strength. The shell shows flowing organic curves in off-white or cream matte tones, with a marble colorway noted as forthcoming. The Future Clog is slated to be available on the Vans site starting August 21, 2025.
Vans teams up with Sterling Ruby for The Future Clog, a sculptural pair of 'two shoes' combined in one piece of footwear. Using a two-part system, the closed outer shell forms a structure around the inner mule, so users can wear the inside without the outer shell. A large opening at the rear allows foot entry, with no straps or laces in place,
The shell exhibits flowing curves without sharp edges or geometric patterns. It falls evenly with the surface lines' design, which follows organic forms that wrap around the inner mule structure. The shell color appears in off-white or cream tones with a matte finish, but on an Instagram post, the footwear company and the artist's studio write that a 'marble' colorway is also underway for The Future Clog. Sterling Ruby develops the footwear through his Los Angeles-ba
