Vans has been on a roll recently with its collabs. This year alone, the skate brand has collaborated with Undercover, Satoshi Nakamoto, JJJound, Metagirl, and Travis Barker, among others. And now Vans is reuniting with BAPE for the new Knu Skool, making this their first linkup since 2024.
The Knu Skool explores BAPE’s signature motifs with a ‘90s edge, featuring the BAPE’s cult ABC camo in two colourways: a black Color Camo Black pair and a pink, purple and green Color Camo pair. BAPE has also added its signature star branding in 3D, replacing the Vans line on the right side of the shoes. On the midsole, you can see the BAPE logo on the sides and shark tooth details at the forefoot.
This is the fifth collaboration between the two brands, the first being the 2021 BAPE x Vans Authentic and Sk8-Hi collection.
The new BAPE x Vans Knu Skools will be dropping July 15th at vans.com and select Vans stores.
