Keds got together with Loomstate to produce their first ever eco-friendly footwear. Rogan Gregory and Scott Hahn designed a collection of sneakers for Keds, that will be distributed exclusively at Barneys New York.
“The shoes are eco-friendly with organic uppers and linings, nickel-free eyelets, recycled insole board and shoe boxes and no tissue paper in the packaging. Also, a percentage of sales go to the Organic Exchange.” Via LA Times.
Prices at 75 USD, the Keds by Loomstate footwear will hit Barneys this coming Monday.
