Vans KNU SKOOL | Shoe of the Summer or just Hype?
These are the vans KNU SKOOL. Popularized by Imran Potato's release last year, this model is being reissued from way back to the 90s. The shoe was surprisingly difficult to acquire due to the hype all over social media, but was finally able to track down a pair of these oversized old skools. Is this a must cop for a summer sneaker or is it just hype? Let's talk about it!

Being a 90s kid skating in DC’s and Vans these are crazy nostalgic to me and really happy they brought them back. Even if it is hype, younger generation getting to enjoy things we used to rock back then is cool to see.

[@mrtambourineman6107]

I love this style, still wear DCs too

[@kharlous]

It's not hype. It's nostalgia.

[@akiko3688]

zoomers don't have nostalgia for the 90s

[@kharlous]

@@akiko3688 yeah they missed out! Lol

[@RetroExhibitCollective]

@@akiko3688 yeah born too late in the 90s you gotta be born at least by 1993 to remember much of the 90s at least according to my sister lol

[@Vonwyd]

It’s hype

[@inco6nit0]

​@@Vonwyd Your face

[@CaliKiid714]

These were actually around back in the 90s. The potato collab was them reintroducing the model. I will say though I am not surprised it took Vans this long to start pumping out GR pairs. I still remember people were fiending for those OG Vault Slip Ons Biebs was wearing back in the day, but they couldn’t find them so they had to settle for the mall version bc Vans would not restock them 💀

[@nomaxxin]

crazy.. this how i wore my vans, adio, globe, fallen sneakers back when i was a kid. its cool the style came back around.

[@DJ4000VOLT]

I got to the mall 3 weeks ago and saw them and didnt know the hype on them, they had my size and got them just cause i thought they were cool looking. I didnt realize how hype they were till after i purchased them and looked at reviews and people a week later asking me if i seen them, and got shocked at my response that i got them, and they cant find them, i guess i got them in time, they just fit my style and is why i got them. Hype is crazy now!

[@charbokh]

This is all what I was waiting for. The reintroduction and reissue of the Knu Skool. The original Knu Skool of the 90's was reissued a couple of years ago by Vans Japan. I wish I could get a pair 😢😢😢 I love them. It's not hype, it's nostalgia.

[@wolfhands2508]

Totally remember these when they first came out in the 90s. Never had a pair. But had some similar ones, Vans use to make a lot shoes like this during the mid and late 90s.

[@user-up1op3kz9q]

Something about the idea of there being hyped vans just feels…….. *wrong* to me. The appeal of them is that they *aren’t* a hypebeast brand, they make classic and iconic shoes that are easy to style and are loved by people from all walks of life

[@69thPredator]

I haven’t worn vans since high school but I definitely wore some that looked like these. I just picked up some sk8 hi’s after a very long hiatus of not wearing vans.

[@housepartypluggtv5338]

I seen oblivion wearing them on ig live I was like wowwww these vans are definitely gonna be a trend again

[@_illustrated.by_]

The brown colorway is fire 🔥

[@danwilson12]

Had a pair over 10 years and were so comfortable. I'm glad it's back. I want it again in gray with white or black stripe like the Adidas Campus 00s

[@banowah]

Def love the gaudy puffed out side but def gives a puma esque vans to me!

[@vansunboxed]

Cant wait for more CWs of this 😎

[@jamesvader7942]

I definitely was happy to see these I'm my local vans store I'm pretty sure I was the only person in my area waiting on em lol

[@bngr_bngr]

I still have my old pairs of old Skools. Not getting the new ones yet. I did pick up a Vans sandal. It’s has a traditional Vans sole but it’s a sandal.

[@nchiohousze9606]

These are going to go Crazy

[@faviodezi9553]

Y2K vibes all over again, my highschool GF had these. Got myself the Deaton Chris Anthony ones for the nostalgia.

[@neilbrown82]

I had a pair of the Black and Whites back when I was in high one of my most favorite pair of shoes

[@tylergates4075]

The fatter vans stripe is overall a better design choice vs the thin one seen on the Old School. The thin stripe on the regular old school is outweighed by white vulc sole and just looks awful. The knu skool stripe to white sole ratio is much more aesthetically pleasing.

[@123almostskater]

Well that’s just like your opinion man

[@antionerandolph4110]

these going to be real popular soon, it’s going to be up there with Amiris and stuff like that. Price might even go up aswell.

[@TheGreg991]

Shoe of the year right here prolly outside of the new cement 3s that just dropped. This is my first time buying cans for the first time in years lol

[@sergioramirez1693]

If you wore vans in hs back in 2010-12 you know they sold similar ones to these in all black with the checkered on the side with the puffy tongue but i don’t remember what they were called. They Were sold at swap meets and small mom & pop shops

[@gabrielalonso1299]

I think those where the Rowleys. They had them in a plaid red pattern to.

[@DameyunHenry-mn1iv]

Somebody better my momma and tell her to get me these VANS KNU SKOOLS SNEAKERS these is 🔥

[@dreamcastninja88]

I remember having a pair back in the late 90s, i used jock these when I was skateboarding and tagging.

[@Junebu99ie]

These are 100% worth the hype! They’re so fcuking cool and that late 90’s early 2000’s look is definitely something I’m obsessed with, so I welcome these shoes back with open arms 😭

[@mvillanueva6329]

Just ordered mine!!🎉❤

[@mateenshyam4571]

tuff af bro🔥

[@joseacuna2206]

these are cool, but the OG version is absolutely awesome. with the vulc outsole. even though this re issue features details of the OG, it still feels like it's a modern era shoe :(, hope they drop the Knu Skool exactly as it was

[@YoungHorchataSkin]

Got a all black pair and now I really need a white on black one🔥

[@PrIcNE710]

Remember having a similar pair in middle school but red n grey

[@miguelmarcos823]

I was teased for rocking vans back in my middle school days lol 1:59

[@dfernandez3482]

I had Vans similar to that back in high school early 2000s but it didn't have the stripe on the side. It just had the word Vans on the side and the midsole and bottom sole was different. It cost $40 back then. I should've gotten hella pairs because the style is discontinued 😢 3:38 with open arms? Not open legs? Because, y'know its pants? 🤔🙂

[@KerrBox92]

Bought mine back in june and i wear them every now and then, they're not my daily shoes by any means, but i have noticed some signs of wear in the sole already, like in the white part of the sole near the heel, the bottom of the midsole i guess, I'm noticing little tears and even a small hole. I do like these shoes, but things like this do concern me about how long they're going to last

[@memelord3348]

Baggy pants are trendy. Chunky shoes go well with them. Boom, to be expected tbh. They’re cool but I don’t think I’ll pick up a pair

[@JLPJLP-ue9nd]

Paul, please tell me what model of jeans you have, they are so nice, thank you!

[@mrtambourineman6107]

As an old dude and skater, i can say these rok

[@trippiemikee_6303]

I havent wore vans since like 3rd grade n they were the slip ons never really got into them.. but i think i gotta copp these

[@sagarbadiger5554]

Hey bro , are you still using minoxidil or what regime are you currently using. Thanks

[@Tbbf_]

How do they fit do they fit to size or size up or down

[@kj2455]

If i have narrow feet, should I go up a half size or down a half size? (12.5M)

[@sebastiansanchez6343]

[@Cass_Collects]

Personally i prefer the regular old skools.. these look too cartoony for my taste

[@reaperofthenorth7097]

They’re all hype man. I tried them on and they’re really tight (obviously it’s for breaking in) but if they were originally a skate shoe and you make it a shoe for people who don’t skate really take the cake for me. Not cool vans.
