Renowned luxury bootlegger Imran Potato reunites with Vans for a two-part collaboration featuring the Knu Skool MTE. The New York-based creative has been making headlines for his unconventional designs, transcending beyond the typical aspects that define fashion. The Imran Potato x Vans Knu Skool MTE “Black Gum” embraces the classic colour palette of this puffy skate shoe, upgraded with several features intended for the trails.
This Mountain Edition colourway boasts a black suede upper with white contrast stitching highlighting the sneaker’s exaggerated proportions. A white 3D Sidestripe reinforces the side panels, complemented by an embroidered “Potato Vans” label on the tongue and heel. Fluffy interiors provide a warm and cosy sensation during cold weather, while the thick laces harken back to the distinct aesthetic of Y2K skate shoes. Durable gum rubber wraps the foxing strip, embellished by a red Off The Wall nameplate. An enhanced waffle sole sits underfoot, flaunting a pattern inspired by mountaineering footwear.
