Introducing Vans Knu Skool Shoes

The Vans Knu Skool made its first appearance in 1998, embracing the vibes of the era, which saw the rise of skate shoes with extra-grippy soles and bold uppers.

With its traditional suede upper, rubber waffle outsole, and recognisable ‘jazz stripe,’ this low-top collection bears similarities to another Vans staple, the Old Skool. However, the Knu Skool adds some fresh additions, such as a heel pull, which helps the wearer slide in and out of their sneakers with ease. You’ll also notice that the stripe on the sidewall is 3D-moulded, and the rest of the shoe has a chunky, cushioned appearance, clear to see in the tongue, laces, and ankle collar. This exaggerated style echoes the ’90s skate shoe aesthetic, giving these sneakers a distinct silhouette.

Though heavily influenced by the skate scene, the Knu Skool has much broader appeal. People of all varieties, whether they’re fashion icons or urban adventurers, are eager to give these kicks a spin, combining them with their everyday outfits. You’ll find that almost all casual clothing goes with the collection: jeans, cargo pants, slim-fit trousers, oversized tees, graphic–print hoodies, and more!
