PRO-Keds was born in 1949 as a sneaker brand for professional athletes, created by Keds – the iconic American brand that made the term “sneakers” famous worldwide. In the 1960s, NBA players started rocking the brand, and by the 1970s, it became a go-to among Ivy League students. Over the years, PRO-Keds has built a solid reputation, earning the nickname “Converse in the West, Keds in the East.”
One of its standout models, the ROYAL PLUS, first dropped in 1972. It’s instantly recognizable with the two lines along the upper and the red and blue power stripe on the sole. This reissue is part of the “Neo PRO-Keds” Japanese project, which gives a modern twist to the classic designs of the past. While it keeps that signature silhouette, this version is updated with a “Vibram® MEGAGRIP” sole that delivers superior grip, no matter the terrain.
It’s a perfect blend of old-school style and new-school performance. The collaboration between WHIZ Limited and mita sneakers takes the sneaker to the next level. They’ve used premium suede and smooth leather in a sleek medium grey colourway that’s both stylish and versatile. The power stripe detail really pops against the monochrome backdrop, giving the shoe a sophisticated, urban look that makes it stand out from other vintage-inspired kicks. It’s a new take on a classic that’s evolved but still keeps that timeless appeal.
