Day 116 - For the Love of Keds!
116/365 (April 26,2010) – I love Keds. They are such Summer shoes to me. They make me think of lazy Summer days, kicking back on the beach, hanging out with friends, enjoying life.
Keds used to be one style. Simple, white, cotton and rubber sneaker. Not so anymore! Now they come in all colours and styles. Even leather! Stripes, flowers, lace-ups, slip-ons, mini-slip-ons, high-tops, mens, ladies, kids…..
From the Keds website – “In 1916, Keds created an American Classic: the first shoe with a soft rubber sole and coined the term “sneaker.” This original sneaker, called “the Champion” has remained a style icon for over ninety years. Worn by Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and Jackie O, and consistently celebrated by Vogue, Elle and Women’s Wear Daily, Keds continues to attract fashion designers, stylists and top editors in the industry with their classic, authentic style.”
First manufactured in 1916, you can even design your own now. Check it out at the Keds website!
