Lotek Chester Blacksmith Troop Re-issue.

Lotek put up a shot of a new denim and leather re-issue of the Troops. It’s a Chester Blacksmith signature colorway. Can a Brooklyns re-issue be coming too??? Probably not.

There are a couple dope photos of Hoang Tran up on the Lotek zine too. Hoang just recently got bumped up to Lotek pro by the way, so congrats to him.

    i still rock the brown leather troops, wearin em now actually. yea i think overall they look ok, but i think that’s just cuz i’m happy to see troops again. in reality i’m not a huge fan of denim on shoes.
    hopefully they are just like the og’s and not like the newer loteks, which have NO cushion in the soles at all.

    Goddamn right they should bring back the Brooklyns. As long as they don’t fuck them up with bright colors like they’ve done with evry other fucking shoe.

  • lewis

  • hiv

    leave it to lotek to re-release one of the few good things they ever did in a disgusting colorway

  • fucking duh

    People – they’re not going to re-release the Brooklyns. They were Edwin’s sig shoe. Edwin doesn’t ride for them any more. They’ve said they’re not going to re-release them. Get over it, there are better shoes out there from other companies.

  • killface

    Yes!!!!!

    I would wear those shoes. Look pretty interesting I think. Of course the majority of bmxers will hate anything that isn’t hideous.

  • andy

    I liked the bob scerbo suede troops. Those were sick shoes. Only lotek that doesnt look retard now though is the black mike aitken shoe.

  • you

    loteks a fad, fuckin fadssssssss

  • dandepre

    YAYY BOUT TIME THEY BRING BACK SHOES THAT LAST MORE THAN 2 WEEKS!
    STOKED

    I know, right? I’ve had two pairs of coastals. One pair destroyed riding for less than a week, the other pair destroyed a couple weeks ago at a kreator/exodus show. I think I’ll stick to vans from now on.

  • grapes

    throwbacks please

  • boomship

    throwbacks double please.

  • Bluep

    Not nuts about denim, but hey…they’re not vulcanized which is what everyone on every BMX blog comment section has been screaming at Rich to make, so…I guess all that screaming worked. And with a gum sole to boot. Good move, Rich.
