Mischa Barton for Keds
Mischa Barton as the Keds spokesperson, recently unveiled the Spring 2008 Ked’s line which was covered by Instyle.
As you can see, Mischa is presenting, Keds Championship Oxford in red. Fulfilling her duties as the Keds spokesgirl, Mishca strategically matched her bold red lips with the Keds Championship Oxford tennis shoe. On a side note, the bold red lips do make her look older than her 21 years. Or perhaps, she actually really did age since the O.C.
What I love about these shoes is that they’re affordable and versatile. Keds are pretty classic. They have been around for almost a century and were originally designed for tennis players. Does that mean Keds are a vintage shoe? Not quite sure, actually.
Keds look stylish in that elite New England sort of way. Sort of the whole, “I’m being casual on my yacht while I’m vacationing myself away at the Hamptons” sort of appeal. It has a little bit of that nautical influence, don’t you think? It also makes this statement: “I’m coming home from my Ivy Leaguer and I’m about to play football on mother and father’s expansive lawn”.
So, whatever Keds mean to you, I’m sure we can all agree that it’s certainly a classic. So now I ask you: What kind of statement do Keds make, in your opinion?
