Keds are getting a sparkly chic update thanks to Alice + Olivia.
The all-American sneaker brand is teaming up with Alice + Olivia designer Stacey Bendet to create a limited edition collection of its classic Champion style.
"I don't think I removed Keds from my feet as a kid. I can even count how many pairs I had." said Bendet. "We decided to do a collaboration that would bring a little Alice + Olivia fun to the 2010 Keds Champion, with what else but fun colored sequins."
The slip-on shoe will be available in four sequin-adorned colors: black, silver, pale pink and safari green.
"As a brand, we look to partner with artists and designers that can bring their own unique vision and creativity to the iconic Champion silhouette," said Kristin Kohler Burrows, president of Keds.
The kicks will retail for $88 and are launching in the spring exclusively at Neiman Marcus, followed by Alice + Olivia stores and Website as well as select retailers worldwide.
And if sequins aren't your things, you can always design your own pair of Keds.

I'm so sorry but, these shoes are horrible. These shoes would maybe look good on my grandmother. And, that's a BIG maybe!

Cheap Chinese shoes that will fall apart in a month.

Those new sparkly Keds look like some diseased fish that washed up on a beach somewhere. Hmmm! Maybe that's where the designer got the idea for these things.
