Vans Knu Skool

With the Vans Knu Skool, the super cool vibes of past decades meet today's comfort standards. Extra padded and intentionally chunky, the Knu Skool brings back the aesthetics of the 90s. The silhouette of the Vans classic Old Skool is deliberately puffed up in its 90s counterpart, combining trendsetting styles that grew out of the world of skateboarding in the past.

A skate shoe for the masses – the Vans Knu Skool in the 90s

In the late 1990s, Californian skate punk finally entered the mainstream. Bands such as Blink 182, Green Day, Sum 41 and The Offspring were on everyone's lips and significantly influenced the popular style at the time. Because skateboarding and punk rock have always been closely linked, it was no wonder that many of the musicians skated themselves or at least adjusted to the clothing style of skaters. Vans Knu Skools were also inextricably linked to this style, making the shoe a cult classic and embodying the zeitgeist of the time like few other skate shoes. The Vans Knu Skool represented the laid-back, fun bubblegum punk vibe of the late 90s, which explains its huge popularity.
