Get awesome with limited-edition Keds celebrating the ’80s

This limited-edition collection of sneakers from the Keds Century Collection colorfully pays tribute to rad ’80s fashions. Geometric patterned interiors add to neon suede exteriors for a zany style typical of the decade that saw the birth of the computer and Comme des Garçons’ debut show in Paris.

For the ladies, the “Champion Gal Pal” comes in three colors—green, pink and blue—and includes the then-ubiquitous friendship pin ($55).

The “Mondo” shoe for men ($75) keeps it a touch more subdued in black or blue suede, but eye-popping shoestrings and trim speak to a time when fitting in meant standing out.

Both styles sell exclusively online from Keds.
