A brief history of Keds
Keds: The History of an American Sneaker
The Keds brand of shoe has been around since 1916, when they were first made by U.S. Rubber (now known as Uniroyal). The first Keds shoes were also the first to be known as sneakers, because the rubber soles of the shoes made them quiet (so one could sneak around and not worry about being heard, apparently, because hard soled shoes tended to make noise).
Throughout the years, Keds became immensely popular with many people, including fashion icons, because of their classic and stylish design.
In the 1960's and 1970's, Keds introduced a line of athletic shoes called Pro-Keds, which were intended for more serious use, specifically for basketball. Over the years many basketball players and teams wore Pro-Keds shoes while playing.
The popularity for Keds finally seemed to die out in the mid-to-late 1990's, as other brands became popular with women and the classic Keds fell out of favor. However, recently, Keds have become popular again, thanks in part to its ad campaigns featuring Mischa Barton, star of The O.C. and The Veronicas who are an Australian Pop Rock music duo.
Pro-Keds have also come back into popularity for the moment, thanks in part to the current vintage clothing obsession.

A little Keds trivia
The roots of Keds reach back to 1916 when it was born as the first national athletic and lifestyle footwear brand under U.S. Rubber Company, the most important shoe manufacturer at the time.They wanted to call the shoes Peds, but the name was already taken, so Keds was their second best choice. They were fist marketed as 'canvas sole sneakers', but were soon referred to simply as ''sneakers'.
In fact, the term 'sneaker' itself was invented by the advertising agency Keds hired, because, well, the rubber soles were so "comfortable and quiet that you could you could "sneak" up on your boyfriend or outwit your toughest opponent".

Keds fetishism
there really is a fetish for everything
Nobody knows when or wear (pun intended) it began, but there is a flourishing community of people (usually men) with a sexual fetish for Keds."WOW! What a treat we have for you on Keds-Fetish! Lisa Daniels in Keds!
Lisa loves her Keds, and she picked these ones to wear because they were "bright and colorful!" she said. Typical girl!
She's certainly brought some color to my cheeks though folks, i don't know about you.
Love
Sneaker-planet"
"This fab pair of White Champion Keds have seen their fair share of sneaker play and fetish fun. Just take a peek at the smooth wear on the sole's ball and heel%u2026 and you'll know exactly what I mean!"
