Tokyo Style: Japanese Label Green Collaborates With Keds
By Kat Clements
As someone who is not generally over-jazzed on Keds, I was surprised first, by how smitten I was over their latest reincarnation and second, that I would find the label at the edge-erific boutique powerhouse Loveless of all places.
But thanks to the vision of Tokyo dreamweavers/clothing designers Green, fortunate fashion lovers in Japan will be scooping up these cut-out kicks, while supplies last. I fancied the Mr. Rogers-meets-Chris Benz-Fall-'08-collection transcendence so much that I picked out a rare pair of American-size shoes for myself to promote stateside this spring.
And also felt a pang of camaraderie with Keds spokesmodel Mischa Barton that can only be brought on by a shared love of shoes.
