I was at the JC Penny's in the mall nearest me (southern Ohio) and they have a very large shoe section. I didn't see any authentic Keds there, but I saw a lot of knockoffs, and even saw a girl trying a pair of white leather champion knockoffs. Maybe if the sales increase they will start carrying them?
Keds.com now shows the men's Champions with a pebble sole, instead of the "racquet" sole shown before. Could they have listened and gone back to the classic sole? Even at $50 a pair, I'm ready to order so long as I will get what they now show. Has anybody else bought a pair recently and gotten the classic sole?
