The Vans Knu Skool Checkerboard in Black and White is a lifestyle silhouette that applies the brand's most historically and emotionally loaded pattern to one of its newer and more proportionally ambitious platform designs, the checkerboard's direct connection to Vans' foundational identity and California skate heritage meeting the Knu Skool's exaggerated and chunky proportions in a shoe that carries decades of brand biography in the most recognizable surface treatment available in the entire Vans visual vocabulary. The checkerboard pattern has appeared on Vans since 1977 when it was hand-drawn onto a pair of Authentics by the son of the shop owner, creating an accidental and completely organic brand identity that has become one of the most recognized and beloved patterns in sneaker history across every culture and community that the brand has touched across five decades of genuine skate and street culture presence.
