Military-Inspired Shoes

The Keds 'Call of Duty' Kicks Recall the 1940s

Not to be confused with the Xbox game of the same name, the Keds 'Call of Duty' sneakers may not be as entertaining, but they sure look good. Inspired by the military in the 1940s, these canvas kicks come in three colorways.

Sold for $55, the Keds Call of Duty sneakers are a limited edition shoe, so you'd better act fast if you like what you see. Featuring leather binding and rawhide laces, these are not your run-of-the-mill Keds, that's for sure. Check out the gallery to see these shoes up close.
