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.
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 💀
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!
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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 😭
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
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? 🤔🙂
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
I hope Lee Pipes don't ever come back. I'm a 90's kid, I wore these with super baggy jeans and skated 39mm wheels. It wasn't cool. Why is this happening again?
I had these when I was a kid, one of my favorite shoes, even had a pair of AirWalks that were identical-ish. Can’t w8 to copp a pair, Thx for the review video ✌🏽 Edit: Congrats on 💯k 🔥
Paul I am begging you. Get in touch with MNML about their poor shipping times and customer service. I have waited a month now and my order still hasn’t moved from their warehouse
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.
i dont see hype for these. dont see people talking about them nor wearing them. i jus lowkey like the shoes, im into jordans but those vans are really nice

I love this style, still wear DCs too

zoomers don't have nostalgia for the 90s
@@akiko3688 yeah they missed out! Lol
@@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
It’s hype

I think those where the Rowleys. They had them in a plaid red pattern to.
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.
I seen oblivion wearing them on ig live I was like wowwww these vans are definitely gonna be a trend again
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.
Personally i prefer the regular old skools.. these look too cartoony for my taste
👍
facts it's all hype people gonna buy these for hype let's be real
Iconic look of the knu skool.
These the type of shoes Drake would wear if he was a cartoon
@@byOrbaa I got them because I think they look fye asf
Y2K vibes all over again, my highschool GF had these. Got myself the Deaton Chris Anthony ones for the nostalgia.

Somebody better my momma and tell her to get me these VANS KNU SKOOLS SNEAKERS these is 🔥
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
Def love the gaudy puffed out side but def gives a puma esque vans to me!
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
The brown colorway is fire 🔥
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
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
As an old dude and skater, i can say these rok
some people think this is a skate shoe it is not Vans skate shoes have different insoles and are marked with a small checker pattern tab
These are going to go Crazy
well its definitely back.
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
I had a pair of the Black and Whites back when I was in high one of my most favorite pair of shoes
Cant wait for more CWs of this 😎
I like the new design but I'd rather have the old puffy vans from the early 2000s.
I want these so bad but they sold out everywhere😢
I remember having a pair back in the late 90s, i used jock these when I was skateboarding and tagging.
That jazz stripe gonna get dirty quick. Dope model though.
The new version looks very weird in my opinion. I had the original when I was young and of course nothing beats them.
Remember having a similar pair in middle school but red n grey
I was teased for rocking vans back in my middle school days lol 1:59
They're 🔥, I just got a pair!
Do the soles feel different. Like more comfortable than the old skools?
I’m waiting for mine to be delivered today!!
Remember stuffing socks into your shoes😢
tuff af bro🔥
Got a all black pair and now I really need a white on black one🔥
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
Still sold out in the size and color i want (pink laces ones)

disrespecting me for covering the toung

How do they fit do they fit to size or size up or down
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
They fit big or true to size?
Paul, please tell me what model of jeans you have, they are so nice, thank you!
they remind of DC shoes
I dont understand why theres not a single video on the green outsole of them
The pair you show on your video of the old model of knu I'm the one who buy it on grailed😅 (2:28)
I hope Lee Pipes don't ever come back. I'm a 90's kid, I wore these with super baggy jeans and skated 39mm wheels. It wasn't cool. Why is this happening again?
Just ordered mine!!🎉❤
I had these when I was a kid, one of my favorite shoes, even had a pair of AirWalks that were identical-ish. Can’t w8 to copp a pair, Thx for the review video ✌🏽

I like them but I don’t like the pull tab in the back.
This exactly I cut mine off with an upholstery blade
Funny thing is them shoes are old first came out in late 90 or early 2000.
Luckily in UK they ate available, ordered🙂
Ordered mine to cansda from Italy. Places in uk/ Europe have more size options by far
@@Judo.chop44 they sold out here as well mine got cancelled
@Kashif Nadeem ahh man that socks must have got mine right in time !!
@Jordan Fraser That's fine I will buy them in the future when they restock🙂
I was going to start buying into the hype until I saw them on feet.
Yeah same. There's something off about them
I prefer Vans Half Cabs or Vans TNT shoes. 😊
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.
I just got the emerica og-1 (mark johnson) rerelease but just got these too good year for skate shoes
Got a pair for riding bike. Nothing else
Vans been slept on but always a staple nonetheless. Fuq the hype. Rock watchu like
Just bought a pair
Enjoy em fam!
@@LocustAndWildHoney I will when they arrive in 3-5 business days !!

Y’all think getting these are hard to get, try getting a re issued OG skate shoe from DC, eS, Osiris or emerica 😢
Got mine today in
Cant find the first song in the description
Please tell me

Nah these are fireeee
Could you please style the knu Skool vans please
