Socially conscience kicks are steady on the come-up. Nearly every manufacturer is coming up with new eco-friendly ideas, the footwear industry, better late then never, is only 10+ years behind the idol-like leader of green movement, the Toyota Prius.
KEDS is the latest company to get in on the growing trend to “go green” with their aptly named, Keds Green Label. The Green Label Keds are simple silhouettes made of 100% organic materials including non-toxic inks and dyes, nickel free eyelets, and recycled insoles. Quality is not compromised, as these kicks are ISO-9001 certified.
What makes Green Label Green?
- Friendly organic cotton for a healthier environment.
– By using 100% organic cotton in Keds Green Label, the brand can reduce 1,000 pounds of toxic pesticides.

– Eye-catching colours created from natural resources.
– Shoes are made with non-toxic inks and dyes.
– Nickel free eyelets, ISO-9001 certified factory and recycled insoles.
