The KEDS 2010 Spring/Summer collection has dropped and it is chock-full of kicks that will be as great on a boat as they are on the street.
This capsule collection includes both chukka and champion styles, and a variety of patterns in different colorways. Although some styles were previously only available in Japan, the KEDS 2010 Spring/Summer will be fully unveiled at limited stores throughout the U.S. in the coming weeks.
Implications - Personally, it's hard for me to look at the KEDS 2010 Spring/Summer Collection and not imagine myself in many of these kicks. Not only do they exude the 'classic' aesthetic that excites streetwear aficionados around the world, they also have a classy feel that makes wearing these shoes with dress clothes plausible. That, my friends, is versatility.
