The Vans Knu Skool – puffy 90s charm and infinitely cosy
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.
The design of Vans Knu Skool
The Knu Skool still features durable suede and the classic Vans silhouette. A small tab has been added to the heel to help you get into the shoe and prevent wider-cut trousers, such as baggy pants, from slipping under the sole. In keeping with the puffy overall aesthetic of the Knu Skool, the iconic Vans Side Stripe also stands out in 3D modelling and gives the shoe its unique hybrid look of retro charm and cool 90s style. The extra fat laces, an additionally padded tongue and an ankle area round off the charmingly cool retro look of the turn of the millennium. The Vans Knu Skool is a stylish eye-catcher that can be perfectly combined with all kinds of outfits.
