Vans Knu Skool Bape Camo Black

The Vans Knu Skool BAPE Camo Black with style code VN000Z3929B brings A Bathing Ape's camo to one of the chunkiest shapes in the Vans line-up. The Knu Skool is a puffy '90s skate shoe with an oversized tongue, padded collar and 3D Sidestripe, and it serves as the canvas for this Vans x BAPE collaboration, which follows the two brands' 2024 project on the SK8-Mid and Old Skool. The pair was released on 15 July 2026.

Colorway: Color Camo Black

Officially named Color Camo Black, this version uses a dark, black-based take on BAPE's signature camo pattern, printed on the canvas panels and framed by suede overlays. BAPE's STA logo and shark tooth detailing join the moulded 3D Sidestripe, and a custom Ape Head lace keeper sits on top of the wide laces. A Bathing Ape branding is worked into the rubber sidewall, and the sole carries a mega checkerboard design above Vans' waffle outsole.

How does the Vans Knu Skool BAPE Camo Black fit?

We recommend taking your normal size in the Vans Knu Skool BAPE Camo Black. The Knu Skool is a low-top with exaggerated proportions: an oversized tongue, a thickly padded collar and wide laces. The upper combines suede overlays with canvas panels on a vulcanised rubber sole with waffle outsole. Sizes follow the Vans men's size chart.
