Originating in 1916, Keds Shoes began when the U.S Rubber Company introduced the brand as the first althetic shoe national brand. The Keds advertising agency came up with the term “sneakers” because the shoes’ rubber soles made less sounds than usual. Since then, Keds Shoes has become the classic athletic footwear due to its quality, style and performance, thus leading them positive nods from fashion icons, celebrities, Olympic soccer players and national and international tennis players.

Now a favorite among athletes, Keds Shoes collection has become a widely appreciated footwear brand with its continuous never-fading quality and style. Since 1916, collaborations with other companies such as Stride Rite Corporation, Nanette Lepore, BCBG Max Azria and Zero Maria Cornejo have established an even steadier fan base for the company. Artists like Todd Oldham, Lily Pulitzer and Eleanor Grosch have also joined Keds to produce artistic designed footwear.

Keds Shoes consists of a men and women’s line of sneakers in a variety of classifications. The brand also offers sneakers for kids, toddlers and even babies. The company’s line of Pro-Keds is also offered by the brand as official basketball sneakers for top athletes. Recently, the company has evolved into a wider footwear crowd, moving from the sneakers and sporty department to producing ballet flats, sandals, slip-ons and even wedges in stylish and high class quality material.
