Keds are always cute. And I have to say the brand's model, Mischa Barton, is a good fit. It's been a while though, and technology recently made me purchase my first pair since third grade.
When I found out you can customize Keds on the brand's website, I just had to give shoe designing a stab. The technology can look scary, but it's quite easy. After playing around, I created some trés chic Keds from an Eiffel Tower photo I found on the Internet. For $70, I can afford to take a risk and see if it will translate as well in person. Stay tuned: I'll keep you posted when they arrive. Besides lace-ups, you can also choose from regular slip-ons and mini slip-ons. Imagine the creative possibilities — your favorite fashion editorials, magazine covers, celebrity muses, and artwork on a pair of Keds. Beyond Fab.

That's pretty cool, do tell us how it turns out
1wait, what?!? you just spent $70 on a pair of keds?! Where am I and what year is it? 1992? I would have killed for these in the 8th grade, but I haven't seen anyone besides overweight tourists and Mischa Barton wearing keds since I was in high school.
2They actually make some cute little flats, nowadays. They've done some interesting collabs with designers, too. It's still catering to a younger market, but coming from someone who schleps around campus all day, a cute little comfortable shoe that I can chuck in the washing machine is a good deal for me.
I can't think of what I'd put on a pair, though...maybe argyle? I'm an utter freak for argyle
3Very cool! I just designed a pair using a Mondrian design.
4Fun, CiaoBella! I would love to see them so upload them in the look book when they arrive. xo.
5Love them! I've been playing around designing for the last hour - it's actually really easy and once you get going, more and more ideas start popping up!
And Javsmav - I too think high school/middle school when I hear Keds, but actually they have some super cute wedges (and for a shorty like me, I need em!). If interested, check em out: http://www.keds.com/jump.jsp?itemID=212&viewAll=1&page=1&itemType=CATEGO...
6This sounds like hours of fun when I've got time to try my hand at it. Though $70 seems like an awful lot of money to spend on a pair of Keds.
7I saw this in Lucky, how you can design your own pair...I would love to try it. Keds are cute.
8I actually just received the shoes I designed in the mail and they came out awesome. I highly recommend it. There are so many different things you can design it's limitless. Go check it out for yourself, kedsstudio.com
9Dude! I don't often get excited about sneakers, but these are so freaking cute. Now I gotta think about what I want on mine. (I imagine there are things you CAN'T put on a sneaker.)
