Vans and BAPE Rework the Knu Skool

Vans and BAPE have reunited for a fresh take on the Knu Skool, bringing together two brands that have helped shape skateboarding and streetwear for decades.

The collaboration reimagines the chunky silhouette through BAPE’s unmistakable design language, introducing the label’s signature Colour Camo, STA logo, shark tooth graphics and a custom Ape Head lace keeper. As collaborations between legacy brands continue to blur the lines between skate culture and fashion, the Vans x BAPE Knu Skool serves as another reminder of the enduring appeal of both labels and their lasting influence on contemporary style.
