Product Information
Full details
The Vans Knu Skool x BAPE collaboration is a premium streetwear trainer designed for adult enthusiasts who value '90s-inspired aesthetics combined with iconic fashion branding. This shoe features a robust suede construction, a signature 3D Sidestripe, and distinct shark tooth detailing that makes it a standout piece for any collection; however, the suede material requires diligent maintenance to keep the black camouflage print looking pristine in various weather conditions.

FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
The Knu Skool series generally fits true to size, though the extra padding may make the fit feel slightly more snug than a standard Vans Authentic.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, washing machine cycles can ruin the suede and the structural integrity of the puffy foam padding.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the suede is not waterproof. We recommend using a quality protector spray to improve water resistance.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed primarily from premium suede.
Are these suitable for professional skating?
While they feature the durable construction of a skate shoe, their primary design focus is as a lifestyle streetwear trainer.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dusty
Use a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and remove embedded surface dust.
Minor scuffs on the rubber outsole
Wipe the white rubber areas gently with a damp cloth or a melamine foam eraser to restore brightness.
Stains on the suede
Use a suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Bold, distinctive aesthetics featuring official BAPE branding
- Retro '90s silhouette is highly versatile for streetwear outfits
- Excellent grip provided by the classic vulcanized waffle sole
Cons
- Suede material is sensitive to moisture and staining
- Requires frequent cleaning to maintain the deep black camo look
- Chunky profile may be heavier than traditional minimalist trainers
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before wearing your trainers for the first time, it is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray. This will create a protective barrier against minor spills and dirt. To clean, use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove loose dust after each wear; avoid using water directly on the suede to prevent texture damage. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can warp the rubber midsole and harden the suede.
