Pro-Keds celebrates its 60th anniversary next spring, and in honor of the milestone, the brand's offering a host of classic styles in new materials and colorways. The company was reacquired by Stride Rite in August after four years of ownership by Damon Dash; the new series is an attempt for the line to return to its roots. Case in point? The Royal Lo Leather (pictured), the basketball shoe that was first introduced in 1926 and later worn by NBA stars like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Nate Archibald (not the Gossip Girl dude). The shoe has a perforated full-grain leather upper, molded footbed, and rubber logo patch, not to mention style to spare. Even better? You won't have to wait for spring to buy them. $60, available at prokeds.com
