Boy, I bet Imran Potato didn’t see his idea to bring back the Knu Skool to the US market, getting this much hype, but we gotta give credit where credit is due. This shoe originally came out in the 90’s, during the chunky skate shoe era, with fat tongues, or sometimes improvising with a sock stuffed behind the tongue. For years, this shoe was only available in Japan, and to be honest, it wasn’t that really sought after, but trends come in cycles, and here we are. Get ’em while they’re hot! There’s like 5 colors out right now in the GR line, as well as a few Vault colorways available at a few Vault stockists.

Vans’ excerpt:
A Puffy 90s Style Inspired by the Past, But Built for Today.
The Knu Skool™ is a modern interpretation of a classic 90s style, defined by its puffed up tongue and 3D-molded Sidestripe™, and tied off with oversized, chunky laces. With its in-your-face profile and dramatic style details, the Knu Skool™ plays off of the original Old Skool™ while blending an icon of the past with today’s trends.
