The queen of crisp and preppy prints collaborates with Keds to make a fun line of sneakers. The sneakers, which will be available in Spring 2013, come in eight different patterns and styles that accurately reflect Kate Spade’s brand. Ranging from bright pink, polka dots and striped sneakers, these shoes are sure to provide comfort and flair to your next spring outfit.
