What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I picked these up for their throwback look, but I stayed for the comfort. The padded tongue and ankle collar feel great all day, and the chunky laces really seal that bold, nostalgic vibe."Blending bold '90s nostalgia with updated streetwear appeal, the Knu Skool Shoe throws it back while stepping firmly forward. We reach for these whenever we want to add energy to a laid-back look-think relaxed denim, graphic tees, or anything with vintage flair. The sturdy suede uppers feel substantial and supportive, while the puffed tongue and collar offer that all-day plush comfort. The molded 3D SideStripe(TM) and oversized laces amp up the visual drama, and the signature waffle outsole gives us the grip we expect from Vans. It's everything we loved about the Old Skool-just more of it.
