Keds, the all-American footwear brand, today announced the launch of a unique designer collaboration with Barneys New York and Loomstate, a design house dedicated to utilizing organic cotton in its products, that will result in an innovative ?¢‚Ǩ?ìgreen?¢‚Ǩ¬ù designer collection, Keds?Ç¬Æ by Loomstate.

The collection includes five prints based on the Keds classic Champion?Ç¬Æ silhouette, priced at $75 a pair, each comprised of 100% certified organic uppers and linings, nickel free eyelets and 100% recycled insole boards. To further reduce the product?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s carbon footprint, Keds will take recycled shoeboxes and re-purpose them as the shoeboxes for the Keds by Loomstate collection.

?¢‚Ǩ?ìIt could not be more perfect timing to bring into the fashion forefront the rich, classic, American heritage that Keds initiated in 1916,?¢‚Ǩ¬ù said Julie Gilhart, senior vice president, fashion director of Barneys New York. ?¢‚Ǩ?ìMixing the tradition of Keds with the new stylish, organic culture of Loomstate and the search for integrity and quality of product at Barneys makes for an amazing project and a perfect collaboration.?¢‚Ǩ¬ù

The new footwear collection is also philanthropic with a percentage of proceeds donated to The Organic Exchange through 1% For The Planet. Gregory and Hahn used vibrant nature-inspired prints on a softened canvas to give a lived-in look to achieve a collection that exemplifies effortless style reflective of both Keds and Loomstate.
