BAPE x Vans Premium Knu Skool Sneaker Collaboration

Bape(Bathing Ape) and Vans linked up for a collaboration on some new kicks. They are premium Knu Skools done in two collaborative colorways, featuring BAPE‘s camo print, “STA” logo, and shark-teeth detailing across a suede and canvas construction.

In this collaboration, instead of replacing the Knu Skool’s existing design, BAPE’s branding is stacked directly alongside it. Both brands’ signature branding are featured on the same shoe at the same time.

There’s lots to look at on these kicks. But I do wish there was an all camo version. I’m not really digging the pink side. Overall the black ones look the best to me. Let me know which one you like better.

• Featuring Puffy 3D Sidestripe™ and BAPE’s “STA” logo
