@PlokTheMasterGamer flat tires actually give more grip tho, you just don't because it uses more gas. As for loose laces I'd say it's more about the person, and you're jus weak in ur bloodline
This shoe was originally launched in 1995 it was part of the Vans International Collection when Vans closed it's U.S. factories and moved them overseas. The Original Knu Skools were made with a combination of cup sole with eva mid sole called Off the Wall 2 and they were highly accepted by skaters and musicians. They were discountinued around 2001 with a revival and reintroduction in a limited edition of the original model in 2015 by Vans Japan. Then the vulcanized version of the Knu Skool, which is the one you present, hits the market and it's a total bomb! ❤
You've got to fasten the straps on your helmet or else it won't protect your head in a fall. They're only good for one fall too and it's a lot more likely to use that up falling off your head onto the concrete
I love you bro this answered all my questions about the shoe in 60 secs, didn’t have to deal with 20+ mins of bs, straight to the point. Now I know I MIGHT cop but since my skating is getting more intense with gaps and ledges I might not.
@@pirty-dirty-bops3734 If you wear them without laces they can easily fall off or be pulled off your feet so no you can't wear them without. It's also the same with loose laces they can fall or be pulled off that's what laces are for, to keep the shoes on your feet
@@POV_No_Father alright smartass at least fact check before you spew shit, if you had them you would know that because of the tongue its damn near impossible unless you have duck flippers to wear these laced.
I use to have a pair of these back in 98 I think .. I remember when they first came out. Super comfortable shoes.. I wish they’d bring back the Woodstock’s .. those were the best vans back in my younger days
For the people talking about the laces, they lace it like this in the store, they did it for mine. The fat tongue won't let your foot come out of the shoe, you're safe.
These shoes are supposed to be a reissue of a budget model from 20 years ago. But since Vans is lazy, they didn't bother combining the upper with a lowland cc midsole.
If you rate shoes in the future, I'd love to see you rate their durability. I realize it takes time to fully understand that aspect. Perhaps you could rate durability based on design and any damage noticed during a session. Design things like leather vs. suede, 2 stitch vs 3 stitch, toe cap or not, whatever you could come up with based on exp. That'd be real helpful for me personally man.
Those shoes are not for skating what annoys me is even now brands like DC don't even put out proper shoes anymore with proper thick padding for your feet these days if you skate the shoes now you will have collapsed arches in 2 years.
Those are actually a really old model that they re-released. I'm 40 years old and I used to skate those exclusively when I was in high school becausethey were $20 a pair and that's all we could afford! But they were also super comfortable. I probably went through 7 or 8 pairs. Literally my mother somehow found out they were re-released and told me. I can't believe how much they cost.
Less padding gives you more board feel and control. If you aren't skating big gaps or stairs they are certainly better. Even on big gaps and stairs you won't get the cushion bounce that throws your feet off the board on impact.
idk how people skate with loose laces my shit gotta be tight af
Facts dude
I don't even know how he can walk like that
yo pause?
Same
It's all about style. It gives shoes the chunky look
You can't Judge an untied shoe. That's a slipper buddy.
i have them and they arent tied but the puffy tongue makes them tight
@@kwyxr510 I still want those shoes tied while skating haha
@@kwyxr510 no it don’t lol
Called tounge straps lossr
You've never worn knu skools brother😭🙏
I’m worried about the laces tho
Helmet to, not done up. This guy is as fake as they get.
Learning by doing
@@hipsonsogbo bruh
@@hipsonsogbohe doesn’t want brain damage so that makes him a poser? Lol no wonder majority of skaters are dumb
@@hipsonsogbowhere did gou even get the fake bit from?
I switched the insole to my pop Cush ones from my pro vans and they skate beautifully
good idea fr
FR I jus keep my pop cush and slide it into whatever shoe im skating/wearing that day
I put the ones from my hightop pros in and it was wayyy better
They look fire
Genuinely look like amazing skate shoes
As of their look, how would you rate them?
@gabrielex3394 I think the sole looks too small, or not proportioned correctly if that makes sense.
@@TrashingTaco i ended up buying them lol and to be fair it is a bit smaller than usual but in the end they’re still amazing
That ollie up the ledge was 🙀🙀🙀
idk how much I trust the rating from someone who doesn't tie their laces
It's like sayin' I won't buy this car cuz I don't wear a seat belt
@@pirty-dirty-bops3734 i would compare it more to driving a car with deflated tires

I'm surprised he buttoned his pants lol

Literally the SB Dunk of Vans
They have a shoe called the Lowland which is a Dunk SB competitor
@@nathanwagner6535no tf it isn’t
@@zxtic4898I see the similarities, but it's just too ugly
Ive been skating half cabs for like a month now, best ones yet

Keep it up amazing work
These shoes look sooo cool
No, no they do not
@@mrpotashio 🤓 damn i didn’t realize we got the arbiter of quality here
@@noah3 its opinion and not quality
They sure do 🔥
Love how the 90s gear all came back
old school vibesss i remember dustin dollin wearing this back in 2005
Love the videos you make it’s simple & easy to watch for skateboarder’s
i never understood how people skate in super thick shoes, the switch from converse to nyjahs was lethal for me
Johnny back at it, legend
Glad I made it in your video! Next time I see you imma say what’s up!
"I love chunky shoes"
I absolutely love that, bc I miss the chunky skate shoes from the 2000's.
Any Osirus D3 lovers out there?
wow youre bringin back the loose lace swag 😂😂😂 been doing that when i was a lil kid cuz i thought it looks sick
I used to wear vans but can't for a while because it forced my arch to be flat so now i wear shoes that help my arch.
Aetrex inserts
vans gon release it again with the duracap rubber and up the price
Was this an official announcement or just a prediction?
@@meruzhmazmanyan41a guess. ( sry for the late response)
Your pop is insane jon

You should do a tire list
I often use nike blazer mid 77 for skateboard that is much more comfortable than any other skateboard shoes

Vans is ass alround just admit it
i wear these for fits sometimes not skating but aye it works for that too
I gotta get these already !
theseeee go harddd
Bro double jumped unto thy brick wall
Edit: Sorry time traveled mid sentence
Looks good
Love all your vids hope one day to meet ya at etnies
Your videos are the only reason I know how to ride my skateboard
loose lacing shoes is so hard to skate because your shoe slips off so I just tie my shoe very tight
cool! I like the old vans slip ons 😂
I had a pair of these it ripped so quick
Original Kyle walkers got my heart
You should rate the vans Zahba shoes
I want to get these but I don’t got money 😔
Thank you for making me need to buy a skateboard and learn
Feels like these were made for looks only
Could you do a vid on the chron 2’s from Nike?

Looks 10/10 imo
you should try the half cabs they are good
My first thought: oh he got the NEW vans!!! 😍
Lowkey I fuck wit dc shoes 🔥🔥🔥
I skate half cabs. I mostly skate vert, bowls, etc. and love them.
I WANT THOSE 😭😭😭😭
then buy?
Last time laces like that were in vogue I was 11 lolol
Good shoes
beatful
It’s funny how some brands are going back to the bigger chunky skate shoe style like the first ever skate shoes were back in the day.
Man there’s so many better chunky shoes that isn’t just a puffy tongue and thick laces, others are chunky all throughout
I have a pair of these , I put the vans pop Cush souls In these and there 100% more comfortable
I’m here to state you started a new rate trend of hitting all digits
Shoes look dope tho
I bought the vans Kyle walker navy today
It’s so funny seeing kids dress like I did when I was a kid now. I guess I’m now one of those old people thinking “what is he thinking?” 😂
vans half cab is like these with the thick tongue and the insoles are pretty thick
Half cab is so nice love em
Do converse next
BRO AT ETNIES 💯💯💯
Yeah bro so good
Nice shoes 👞 pal 👍
I would explode my ankles wearing something like that. 😂
I have theese😊😅
i usually go with Jordan 4’s or Converse when skating
Try your sb Jordan’s next
Try globe fusions next, I’ve been skating them for a week now and barely any wear
New subscriber :)

Best shoes i ever skated were the Wray v3 by Adio when they were a thing. Id kill to find a pair in 8 preferably in all white

Do the laki griffins next
"I can do all my tricks perfectly so. . . 8 out of 10" 😅😅😅😅
We got the brand new 1, 2 buckle my shoes
They’re not new. They’re a revamp of themselves. They brought them back because of the trendiness.
I got the full black ones of the first one
A thin insole allows for better board control though as you can feel the board better with your feet. For me thin insole = 9/10
BRO KNOWS HOW TO GET COMMENTS
I got the same pants broski
do the half cabs
These are my main skate shoes
This is more like a how to flex tutorial
where are ur jeans from?
Nice pants! What are the names of those?
