I noticed today that the photo on the Keds site show all the Champs with bare metal eyelets. I really hope that its not the case.

Re: 2016 Keds

Agreed. On most colors anyway, some styles are okay with metal colored eyelets.
 
Re: 2016 Keds

Ever since they moved production from China to Vietnam on the latest Keds, the quality has been going severely downhill. The shoes become kind of misshapen after only a few wears.

They're supposed to be going back to being made in America soon from what I heard
 
Re: 2016 Keds

Where did you hear that? I couldn't find anything.
 
Re: 2016 Keds

I remember back when Keds sold the company to Wolverine Worldwide a few years ago. It was only 20 million dollars... not a whole lot in the grand scheme of things. Always wished I had that kind of money; would have bought it and fixed everything.
 
Re: 2016 Keds

I saw an interview with a Keds executive last week.He mentioned that.
 
Re: 2016 Keds

He mentioned that it is moving to Michigan, but I can't remember the city. Unfortunately, this is sure to increase the price as well. Maybe they will use it as a marketing instrument - two different "levels" of Keds. I have seen black, white, and other champs that have been made in Mexico in the last couple of years. They do not have the flocking on the bottom of the sneaker either. I guess the U.S. ones won't in the future.
