Found a video of Nanette Lepore talking about the shoes:

Seriously, I think I might be too excited for this.

The shoes are now available online!!

Nanette's work is lovely!

There's always a subtle touch femininity which she brings...

I really want the leopard ones and the ones with the tie from Teen Vogue!

What's up with the Keds site only having the leopard ones in size 11? Did they sell out or have they not put more sizes up yet? I really want them!

just got the black satin... they are insanely comfortable, and have a nice shape, too. perfect for running around in the city!

So i was in the subway and i saw that this guy had a pair of the white champion.
i thought those were only for girls
so i guess he must have gotten the biggest size in womens or something
but then i checked online and they are making them now for men as well.
gee...i want a pair.

yes they are quite basic, but i need a pair of white shoes
and i didn't want to go with converse or vans on this occasion.

^^They've always made them for men, haven't they?

 

[vogue28]

^ Yeah, I have got a pair. Everyone is wearing them where I live

 

[Dali]

I like them

Classic Keds look good but not in white. In white, I think of old ladies.

I love them in red!

dorien - can you please credit your image? ty!

I had Keds in every color when I was little! I practically lived in them

 

[laureenthemean]

^^Me too! My favorite were an off-white color with red, green, and blue animals on them.

sorry,

(pic from keds.com)

i passed by Macy's today on 34th and 7th
but they don't carry them.
the keds website says they do...
i'll probably try journey's sometime this week.
but i'm pretty sure those are the shoes i saw, but i won't be entirely
sure until i see them in person.
of course they could have been designer.
you know how designer labels tend to copy stuff.

keds, faux keds and the like have been a massive trend in the uk for about a year now everyone is wearing them men and women they even do baby ones now ..

I love my all black ones with black sole .. so comfy .. i live in them near enough

 

[dorien]

i was finally able to find them for men at a store. i'm a 9 1/2.

couple of days later, i fracture my right ankle in a soccer/futbol match....
so yeah, i still haven't wore them, as my foot won't fit in anymore.
so they are still in my closet while i recover, who knows how long that is going to take.

Me too! I have totally forgot about Keds til now. I think a few years back there were a bunch of Mischa Barton ads/pictorials for Keds.

 

[Clandestino]

I have a pair of blue keds, and i love them

 

[23 seconds]

I love these shoes. I have two pairs -- both are in white, haha. Actually one pair is older, and I wear them when I'm doing something messy, like in the garden or around the house. The newer pair are for when I go out. They're very comfortable, and stylish I think.

 

[Ella]

Agreed, always preferred Keds to Vans. I think we need a Keds thread!

The Maria Cornejo ones are cute but I wouldn't pay that much for them...

 

[HodanChloe]

I used to wear them for nursery.
