In 1916, Keds created an American Classic Original: the first shoe with a soft rubber sole, so comfortable and quiet you could "sneak" up on your boyfriend.  This original sneaker, called "the Champion," has remained a style icon for over 90 years.  From movie stars, artists and tennis pros, to first ladies and beatniks, just about everyone has walked, skipped or jumped in a pair of Keds.

Today, a new generation has discovered the Keds brand, which is helping to inspire a collective spirit of new American style, youthful optimism, collaboration, contribution and togetherness.  America was founded on the premise of creative possibilities and Keds is the canvas to help you discover and create your own.
