The day has arrived. Bobbito Garcia’s collaborative sneaker with PRO-Keds, the Royal Flash, has released and Bobbito is currently on a shop appearance mini-tour throughout the New York area. We have seen Kool Bob Love talk about his shoes before, and even got a look at all four colorways, but now we have some detailed looks at them. Garcia took the classic PRO-Keds model and added a number of nice gold leaf touches. “Bobbito” appears on the upper outer side and “Pa’lante” on the inner, of which he explains the significance in the above video. Other text includes the “Add-On” nickname on the heel, “El Barrio” above the tongue label and some additional labels on the underside of the tongue. The shoe is out in four natural colorways–mustard, olive, maroon and dark orange–and all are suede. It’s most definitely an old school hoops shoe done up by an old school hooper. |
