Vans x BAPE® 

Vans x BAPE® Reveal a Knu Skool 

Vans and BAPE® celebrate their shared influence on youth culture and streetwear with a footwear collaboration centered on the iconic premium Knu Skool silhouette.  

The Knu Skool's exaggerated proportions merge with BAPE®'s signature camo print, iconic STA logo and shark tooth detailing. Available in Color Camo Black and Color Camo in pink, purple, green, the style features suede overlays paired with canvas panels printed in BAPE®'s iconic camo pattern, while a 3D Sidestripe™ fuses two globally recognized design languages. 

Details throughout the shoe underscore the partnership’s attention to craftsmanship and storytelling. A custom Ape Head lace keeper sits atop wide laces with A Bathing Ape® branding incorporated into the rubber sidewall. The design stays true to the Knu Skool's roots, featuring an oversized tongue, padded collar and a bold, low-top profile. Underfoot, a mega checkerboard sole pays tribute to Vans' heritage, while the brand's signature waffle outsole continues to deliver the durability that has defined Vans since 1966. 

Vans x BAPE® will be available soon on EU.BAPE.COM.
