Keds 1916 - present

I'm sure you would all expect the first post to be from one of the big brands everyone knows like Nike or Adidas. But! I thought there was no better way to start this blog than with he first true sneaker. 
Although other brands such as Dunlop, Converse and Adidas were around, Keds were the first company to give the name “sneaker” to the canvas bonded rubber sole. 
This picture is the original 1929 basketball edition. 
Don’t they look like converse or the nike blazer? 
Each brand took there take on this shoe and made it their own. But the Keds were the first.
