Swift x Keds

Nearly 10 years ago, Taylor Swift collaborated with sneaker maker Keds on a collection of footwear. The collection captured the personality and style of Swift. The Keds x Taylor Swift sneakers captured her personality by featuring bright colors, fun prints and artwork that was inspired by personal things, like Swift’s birthday. Bright and colorful designs often included polka dots and stripes. The marketing campaign encouraged female empowerment, something the artist has always championed. Swift was heavily involved in the marketing of the shoes. She modeled and played a part in the crafting of the campaigns and messaging. The Keds x Taylor Swift collection was widely available for an affordable price point.

Blank Space

Unfortunately, the Taylor Swift x Keds collaboration was relatively short-lived. Swift hasn’t suffered from the split, as she is still one of the most prominent figures in popular culture. Keds is also still going strong. The Taylor Swift x Keds collaboration is a nice moment in sneaker history.
