Pro-Keds Rock

Recently I was walking past a trendy NYC shoe store when out of the corner of my eye I spotted a pair of hi-top Rocca Pro Keds. Seeing these brought me back to 3rd grade when the only shoes I would put on were my pro-keds in blue (I know I am aging myself). When I cajoled, i.e. screamed at the top of my lungs, my mother to buy those sneaks, I considered myself cool, a member of the in-crowd. In reality I was anything but; I was the kid who could barely throw a ball and who was always chosen last. Those Pro Keds made me forget my plight in life and allowed me to live in a total state of delusion. Did you know that Pro-Keds was created by Keds as their basketball line? The first Pro-Keds were the ultra cool Classic Royal. Now years later, Damon Dash has decided to recreate the line with these trendsetting sneakers...now my daughter is the one screaming for them.
