Designer Brands-owned Keds has unveiled the second release of its ongoing collaboration with New York-based label Batsheva, blending the brand’s minimalist footwear with the label’s signature vintage-inspired, feminine aesthetics. Leaning into the Maryjane trend, the collection provides a fun update on a timeless silhouette through Batsheva’s unique take on nostalgic romance, showcasing playful and bold patterns that embody both brands’ identities.
In press about the collaboration designer Batsheva Hay shared her thoughts on the collaboration. “During my very first conversation with the Keds team, I mentioned how much I wanted to do a Mary Jane shoe, and I am so excited that we made it happen for our second drop,” she said. “We used the mesh with embroidered dots from our first styles but re-envisioned it as a Mary Jane in red and black, so you can wear them with everything. A Mary Jane with a sock has been my favorite thing to wear with dresses since childhood, and it pairs so nicely with my entire clothing collection.”
The Keds and Bathsheva maryjanes are now available on keds.com.
