Pro-Keds Nubuck Royal Lo – NBA Collection

Considering the vast innovations in basketball sneaker design that have spoiled us over the years, it’s hard to believe that the Pro-Keds Royal Lo was at one time the top performance shoe in the game. Originally released in 1949 as one of the brand’s first models, the Royal Lo helps Pro-Keds celebrate their 60th anniversary with four nubuck versions of the shoe in colorways paying tribute to some classic NBA history. Once worn by superstars like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Nate Archibald, Bob Lanier, Lou Hudson, Bob Love and JoJo White, the nubuck models are colored in the style of some of the legendary NBA teams these players suited up for. Show your love for the old school by picking up a pair of nubuck Royal Lo’s in your favorite team’s colors at Pro-Keds and other select retailers. via Hypebeast.
