From a personal SNKR FRKR office in-joke to the real deal - this once iconic NYC hip hop brand is now back in town! Regular readers will know that we have been banging the Troop gong since day dot. Well it seems like the hills do indeed have ears because we can now reveal the first release from the rejuvenated brand right here.

The Pro Edition has been given a slight reshuffle with an embroidered logo and a mysterious air-bag (which is visible from the inside of the arch) complementing the ubiquitous elephant hide. We'll refrain from a further cultural analysis at this point but we can promise you there is more to come in the following weeks, with a full feature in the next edition of Sneaker Freaker!
