FMB Paris Roubaix "Pro Team Edition"?

[Gsinill]

Ordered directly from France as regular Paris Roubaix, not the Pro version.
Tan sidewall with "Pro Team Edition" printed on it, some kind of coating, definitely not bare cotton.
What are those? Can't find anything on "Pro Team Edition".

That was the only thing they had available that was close what you wanted??? Maybe spares made for a pro team or something?

I thought that the Pro version had green sidewalls?

Yep, makes it even more confusing.

We've got an FMB distributor here in Portland... stocks both varieties. The "pro" version always has green dyed sidewalls

My guess is OP got some in-betweeny type tires... they had some already stamped, but didn't bother to dye 'em, and just decided to sell them as regulars and any advantage (is there actually?) be a free upgrade.

Total guess tho
