Bape knows the wardrobe of Vans inside out. Since 2021, the Japanese label has been covering the classics of the California brand with its iconic Camo. After reimagining iconic silhouettes like the Authentic, the Old Skool, the Sk8-Hi, and the Sk8-Mid, the Japanese label is now tackling a more recent model in the California brand's revival: the Knu Skool.

Reintroduced in recent seasons, the silhouette maintains its bulky proportions inspired by 90s skate while adopting Bape's graphic codes. For this occasion, the collaboration comes in two colorways. The first combines green camo with a pink and purple lining, while the second opts for a darker palette, complemented by a black and white checkerboard interior. The collaboration between Bape and Vans will be available starting July 15.
