In 1916, Keds started a footwear revolution by creating the world’s first sneaker. Through the years, the honesty, optimism and simplicity of Keds has brought people together. From movie stars to basketball legends, artists to tennis pros, first ladies to beatniks, just about everyone has walked, skipped or jumped in a pair of Keds.

Keds power to endure comes not only from our unique American heritage, but also from our ability to stay true. Others may chase fads and fashions, but Keds remains constant. The core of the Keds line is the iconic Champion, a simple rubber-soled shoe that over 90 years ago invited us all to run a little faster, jump a little higher, and play a little longer. It is the perfect place to start, and to come back to; the blank canvas that keeps all creative possibilities open.

Keds is also bringing people together to make a difference in our environment, with Keds Green, a line of footwear featuring organic cotton uppers, non-toxic inks and dyes, and recycled outsoles and laces.  Sustainable style never looked so good!

Pro-Keds has been a free-spirited American performer since 1949. Born of basketball courts, afternoon pickup games, and backyard parties, and worn by such basketball legends as “Pistol” Pete Maravich and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Pro-Keds is always a stand-out.
