Uniroyal – Pro Keds
A two page spread from the Uniroyal corporation bragging about the wheels they make for everyone else and trying to weasel in on Frank Nasworthy for developing the polyurethane skateboard wheel. They made formulas for a lot of wheels you’ve definitely heard of, as well as some you definitely haven’t.
They’re not worn out just when they’re worn in.
We didn’t just make Pro. Keds to look good. We made them to last a long time.
Which is why we make the uppers from extra best quality army duck.
And the soles from specally toughened rubber with an anti-skid grip.
We weren’t content with normal toe-cap reinforcement
So we added a special rubber toe-cap bumper.
And we’ve given them a padded sock as well as a special arch support, because we want Pro-Keds to be so comfortable you’ll wear them all day long.
We believe that, like your skateboard, Pro-Keds should feel part of you.
Pro-Keds come in a wide range of colours and sizes. The Baseline even comes in boys sizes and starts at about £5. But you can pay £16 for the Royal Plus in suede.
The one in the picture is the Royal-at around £11, in a choice of six different colours.
We think you’ll agree that, considering how well made and how comfortable they are, Pro-Keds are something of a bargain.
Turn pro with PRO-Keds.
UNIROYAL
You can’t buy Pro-Keds just anywhere. You’ll find them only in good skateboard and sport shops and department stores.
