FOR KICKS

KEDS ROLLS OUT ECO-FRIENDLY LINE

Keds, the shoe brand with the signature blue tag, has gone green. The company has started an all-green line made from organic cotton, recycled rubber and nontoxic inks and dyes. Even the shoe boxes they come in are made from recycled paper.

The Keds Green line hits stores March 25, and for every pair of shoes bought this year, Keds will plant a tree. Prices start at $55.
