The Vans Knu Skool MTE-1 LX is a bolder reimagining of the OG, and arrives in a chunky 'Mercer Chili Pepper' suede upper with exaggerated 3D Sidestripes. Laces come in thick too, along with padded tongues and cushioned collars. Underfoot, bolder rubber outsoles bring in more elevation, while also increasing traction on an array of terrain. Tonal license plates add the finishing touches to the iconic style. The Knu Skool is a modern interpretation of a classic 90s style, defined by its puffed up tongue and 3D-molded Sidestripe™, and tied off with oversized, chunky laces. With its in-your-face profile and dramatic style details, the Knu Skool plays off of the original Old Skool™ while blending an icon of the past with today’s trends.
