1 on 1 with Bobbito Garcia

Bobbito

Bobbito Garcia has been a staple in the shoe game and its community for quite some time. He has been the spearhead in collabs with major brands such as Nike, Reebok and Under Armour. Now, the legend that some of you know as DJ Cool Bob Love has now come together with Pro-Keds for his spin on the classic Royal Flash model. Everyone knows that that Bobbito usually has the Midas touch when it comes to collaborations as evident by these photos of the aforementioned Royal Flash.

While everyone can see the great result of the Bobbito Royal Flash, not too many people know the history and the thought process that went into making this classic. Nice Kicks sat down with Bobbito, the author of the Sneaker Bible “Where’d you Get Those”, to get a better understanding of the history and culture that both him and the Royal Flash carries.

With that being said, click here to read the interview with the legendary Bobbito Garcia.
