Thanks to its old school simplicity, the Royal Hi has long been one of PRO-Keds’ go-to silhouettes. So, naturally, when it came time to drop a collaboration with the UK’s Footpatrol, the retro high-top was picked as the canvas. Taking cues from the array of fabric houses that populate Footpatrol’s own stomping grounds in London, the special “Patchwork” edition of the Royal Hi — as the name suggests — dons a patchwork upper crafted from a bevy of different textiles. The result is a unique combination of Wolverine suede, denim, wool, madras plaid, polka-dotted jacquard, unbleached duck canvas, shirting stripes, and oiled leather that comes complete with special chenille logo patches.
Look for the Footpatrol x PRO-Keds Royal Hi “Patchwork” to hit Footpatrol this Friday, June 24 before making its way to prokeds.com and additional retailers June 30.
