To celebrate a decade in business, Swedish proddy parlor Sneakersnstuff has teamed up with hometown heroes Tretorn to produce the T56 SNS GTX. After two years in development, Tretorn’s Tournament tennis shoe from 1956 has received GORE-TEX lining, a rip-stop nylon upper, reflective 3M Scotchlite piping, three sets of laces, a deluxe sneaker bag and a partridge in a pear tree. This is the first time ever that a Tretorn shoe has utilised GORE-TEX. Limited to 300 pairs, look for them in select stores on June 27th.
TRETORN HISTORY In 1891 the first rubber footwear products left the original Tretorn factory. In case you didn't know, the name Tretorn is Swedish for 'Three Towers', a reference to the distinctive spires of the original factory. Tretorn products proudly carry a Royal Warrant, appointed by Hans Majestät Konungen, the King of Sweden. From what we know Tretorn also invented the tennis ball. Class dismissed!
