Van introduces the re-released Knu Skool, a modern reinterpretation of the classic Old Skool, inspired by ’90s lifestyle. With an irreverent, oversized look, these shoes pay homage to the iconic skate models of yesteryear.
The Knu Skool was initially released in 1998, and in 2015 exclusively in Japan, quickly gaining recognition in the streetwear community for its signature aesthetic and design. It has become a symbol of authenticity and a tool for creative expression.
One of the main symbols of the brand, the Sidestripe, was designed by Paul Van Doren, founder of Vans, in the 1970s. Originally called the “jazz stripe” and later updated on the Knu Skool in a 3D version, this distinctive detail has become a trademark of Vans. Tennis has captured the hearts of Californians, especially young lovers of action sports.
The latest iteration of the Knu Skool faithfully retains the details of the original, including the signature over-the-top padding on the heel and tongue that fans love and expect. The shoe will be available in Black/True White, Navy, Red/True White and an exclusive edition in White available only at Vans Stores.
