Everyone and their mother is launching a groovy sneaker line. There's Gucci, Louis Vuitton with Kanye West ... and Nike updates their inventory constantly and makes you mad-insane trying to keep up and collect. But sometimes you just want easy. Quiet. Classic.
And CHEAP! $35. Voila!
Low and behold the Keds Champion Classic is reborn. Celebrities like Charlize Theron and Kristin Cavallari have been sporting these rubber-soled wonders on walks to Starbucks in leggings and mini-skirts. They have been around since 1916 and they stil look fresh!
(Fun fact: Sneakers were named such by Henry Nelson McKinney, an agent for an advertising firm N. W. Ayer & Son. The name refers to the sneakers' soft, noiseless rubber soles, Which allow the wearer to “sneak up” on unsuspecting friends and family!)
They come in 6 bright colors as well as white, all black, navy, red and beige. Another added 21st century plus? You can customize your kicks!
