Introducing the Vans Knu Skool
The Vans Knu Skool first debuted in the 1990s as a bold, exaggerated twist on the classic Old Skool, built to reflect the era’s love for chunky, padded skate shoes. With its oversized tongue, ultra-cushioned collar, chunky vulcanised sole, and distinctive 3D puffed Jazz Stripe, the Knu Skool amplified Vans’ skateboarding roots with added comfort and standout design.
It made a strong comeback in the 2020s, tapping into the revival of ’90s and Y2K fashion. The updated version brought fresh colorways, new materials, and high-profile collaborations, quickly catching the attention of a new generation.
Today, the Knu Skool is loved not only for its nostalgic charm and bold look but also for its comfort, unisex fit, and street-ready style - making it a go-to lifestyle sneaker.
