Keds have been an American classic since 1916. “The Champion,” has graced the feet of such style legends as Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and Jackie O and has continuously been a favorite among designers, stylists, and editors. In truly modern fashion, Keds has been taking it to the streets with their Keds Collective Collection which brings “top designers, cutting-edge artists, musicians and pop culture icons to see how these creative minds can transform” the blank canvas of the classic Ked.
We’re currently digging Portland-based artist, Betsy Walton’s beachy patterned kicks, which look perfect for warm weather wandering. A few of her favorite influences are evident in the final product and include Byzantine Icon Paintings, American Folk Art and geometric abstraction. At $60, they’re a pretty swell deal.
