Vans Knu-Skool Black

After two decades of being tucked away in the Vans Vault, the skateboarding legend is finally reissuing its Knu-Skool. A silhouette born during the extra chunky era of skate shoes, the Knu-Skool did receive a Japanese release in 2015, dropping as a four-shoe capsule that included your staple Vans colourways. Now this “Black” edition is set to hit the shelves with all the same energy that its ‘98 release managed to capture.

Just like on the iconic Old-Skool colourway, a black suede construction is sewn together with a clean white contrast stitch. The set of thick laces matches the puffy profile that can be seen on the padded-out tongue and ankle collar portion of the Knu-Skool. The Jazz Stripe tooling is also a key part of the silhouette’s ‘90’s aesthetics, boasting a new thicker cut and what Vans are calling a “diamond puffy 3D mould”. The Waffle outsole and raised lip on the midsole are both here to give you all the added protection if you’re planning on skating in these.

This Vans Knu-School “Black” edition is a clean option for the rotation, especially if you’re in need of a pair to match your increasingly baggy jeans. Find out where to pick up your pair by keeping it locked into The Sole Supplier!
