wash, air dry only In 1916, the Keds brand was introduced by the U.S. Rubber
Company as the first national athletic and lifestyle footwear brand. At this
time, the shoes were called sneakers, a term invented in late 1916 because the
rubber soles made the shoes quiet. Worn by Olympic soccer players, scores of
National and International tennis champions, and many college athletes, Keds
was coined the shoe of champions because of its reputation as America's
premier athletic brand. Not only was Keds a leading athletic brand, it was
also the brand of choice for leading style icons due to its classic, stylish,
and authentic characteristics.
