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.

This actually isn’t the first time that the Kobe, Japan-based brand has applied a grayscale approach to this silhouette, but we haven’t seen this particular colorway before.

Constructed with durable suede and canvas uppers in a range of fresh colorways, the Old Skool pays homage to our heritage while ensuring that this low top, lace-up shoe remains as iconic as ever. It also features re-enforced toe caps, supportive padded collars, and signature rubber waffle outsoles.

The vintage hoops shoe features computer chip-inspired graphics throughout the upper, crafted from black leather with matching black textile on the quarter panel. Upon closer inspection, the circuit lines coalesce into familiar forms that strongly resemble the silhouettes of Bugs Bunny and his newest Tune Squad teammate, LeBron James. The angular lines — rendered in tonal fashion except on the quarter panel, where they’re etched in blue — glow in the dark, along with the milky rubber outsole
