Okay?? I never said anything bad about white stitching. I just grew up with solid stitching in the 80s and 90s.

This is pretty simple. One of you guys needs to go to Japan and bring a few hundred pairs back.

Re: Retro Keds Champs?

I'm not sure if I mentioned it before but I bought a pair of Keds from Japan a few years ago. Great quality and materials wonderful sole but the sizing was strange. They were supposed to be men's 11. I knew when I ordered them it was likely wrong because they were 4 eyelet per side. Shipping was awful expensive and I had to pay Canadian duty so all in all they cost me a little less then 200.

I may sell them if anyone is interested my best guess on size is a women's 11 medium width so about a men's 9 to 10 at the top.

Some pics from another Japanese company called Geostyle. These are described as men's Keds.

Those are the same as what I bought from Japan.

It's interesting that they even have the old font for the keds logo. What's the story is behind that? Are these reissues or just the way keds look in Japan?
