Wacko Maria’s Americana influences have spread throughout quite a bit of sneaker culture. With Nike and Converse, the Japanese label made use of bold animal prints, while their subsequent Vans offerings toned it down with vinyl records. And soon, with the help of Pro-Keds, we’ll be able to enjoy even more analog sound.

Prepared in two colorways — one pink, the other black — the collaborative Suede Royal Plus retains most of what makes the silhouette so classic. Suede materials dress the upper throughout, scored over top with panels of white leather. The cap toe, lining, and midsole follow in the neutral example, though the latter does brand with contrasting blue and red color. What’s more, the heel further embellishes with Wacko Maria motifs, the embroidery depictive of a ghoul-like hand gripping a glimmer record.
