The Item: Keds x Opening Ceremony Kicks

For years, Keds has been the choice of moms everywhere when it comes to casual footwear. (At one point or another, your mom probably rocked the hell out of 'em!) In recent years, though, the brand has revitalized itself, rehashing its image to appeal not only to younger women, but also to the manliest of men. I mean, with plimsolls all the rage these days, why the hell should they miss out, right?

In competitive times like these, though, differentiation truly is a must. And Keds knows this. Their classics won't just cut it anymore and thus these awesome kicks in collaboration with the geniuses at Opening Ceremony. For this collection, they utilized American trademarks such as denim, chambray, and bandana prints to give the Keds some swagger. As you can see from the end product, they definitely didn't have your moms in mind when they designed these ones, bruh.

I'm a bit unsure about the bandanas, but the denim I totally love

That chambray number is definitely a looker too
