KangaROOS flourished in the 80s, catering to everyone from children to NBA and NFL players.

Eventually the brand fizzled out in the U.S., but continued exporting to Europe. KangaROOS is now celebrating their 30th year with a strong comeback, selling in 60 countries worldwide.

The designs are classic and simple, fitting right in with today’s retro sneaker trend. KangaROOS signature ROOS Classic Vintage sneaker is available in multiple colors, and runs for just $60.00 – so you can get your old school fix at a great price!
