Women's Keds Champion Originals Leather

The very definition of classic sneaker. The iconic Keds Champion first debuted in 1916 as the first rubber-soled canvas shoe of its kind—loved and worn by a legacy of taste makers and cultural influencers for over 100 years. This version with its embroidered heart details and playful (and removable!) heart shoelace charm brings a fun-loving vibe to casual looks. A true American original, the Champion sneaker from Keds has been updated with a soft cotton terry lining, a more secure heel, a roomier toe, and improved arch support. This classic sneaker is a wardrobe staple that pairs perfectly with casual wear.

At this time, the shoes were called sneakers, a term invented in late 1916 because the rubber soles made the shoes quiet. Worn by Olympic soccer players, scores of National and International tennis champions, and many college athletes, Keds was coined the shoe of champions because of its reputation as America's premier athletic brand. Not only was Keds a leading athletic brand, it was also the brand of choice for leading style icons due to its classic, stylish, and authentic characteristics.
