About us

Keds was founded on the belief that when we feel comfortable inside and out, we can more fully step forward and make our mark on the world.

Today, Keds exists to support all women as they step out into the world every day: to laugh with them; to cheer them on; to give them the style, comfort, and support they need to step out and show up in life. To help them look more like themselves so that they can feel more like themselves. No matter where they’re going or how they’re getting there, Keds helps them move through life their way. Keds. Wear yours.

    Introducing the Keds Champion Gender Neutral—the everyday sneaker for everyone. This new iteration of the iconic style features a broader, more inclusive fit. Taking design cues from a 1960s archival Keds Champion, it expands on some of the classic elements central to the timeless silhouette, like the recognizable CVO upper. It also features updated textured midsoles, a gender-neutral last shape, and extended sizing options. To bring the campaign to life we worked with the phenomenal production company Family Projects and Brooklyn-based photographer Jacob Consenstein to photograph and interview three New York-based artists who styled our new gender-neutral sneaker in their own unique ways. There’s Kalen (she/her), a textile designer and founder of brand Upstate, who describes her style as confident, creative, and comfortable. Mimi (they/she), a community muralist and portrait painter, who enjoys using the process of making a mural to help them create style in their everyday life. Lastly, there’s John (he/him), a guitarist and singer-songwriter who aims to live, dress, and make music in a way that allows others to feel comfortable expressing themselves. John also composed all the original music in the videos created for this campaign. The Keds Champion Gender Neutral is now available at Keds.com in extended sizes (5-14.5) and medium and wide widths.
