The KNU SKOOL is the best sneaker silhouette of all time.
It's the shoe I always wanted but couldn't get because of its mystery-the ultimate unattainable eBay shoe, said Imran.
The Vault team literally opened the vault for me, and I can't thank them enough for that.
This collaboration is a dream come true, and my most important work to date.
For his debut Vault by Vans collection, Imran helps to reissue the KNU SKOOL VR3 LX, a model that pays homage to the early ‘90s skate-inspired footwear silhouette the brand first debuted in 1998 and later re-released via Vans Japan exclusively.
For its latest iteration, Imran has taken the oversized DNA and further exaggerated its design specs to include all-over suede uppers with contrast stitching along with a quintessential 3D Sidestripe that protrudes from the quarter-panel.
The KNU SKOOL has been updated with an overstuffed tongue, thick cotton laces and a custom printed Potato waffle sole.
Available in three colorways including classic Black, and two all-over cheetah prints available in asphalt/black and golden glow/Bombay brown.
To modernize the KNU SKOOL, the shoe's suede panels are sourced from a top-rated LWG tannery for environmental responsibility.
The silhouette is also a part of Vans VR3, representing the brands journey towards 100% regenerative, responsibly sourced renewable and recycled materials for the brands top four materials by 2030.
The silhouette is also equipped with an EVA foam EcoCush™ footbed derived partially from sugarcane and an EcoWaffle™ rubber outsole that was obtained from sources that follow proven sustainable practices with the intention of reducing impacts on the planet.
