What better way to relax than to don a pair of Keds.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In 1916, Keds created the original sneaker &#8211; or as they like to say, the first ever &#8220;feel-like-everyday&#8217;s-a-Saturday&#8221; shoe. But that was a bit of a mouthful&#8230;so instead they called it the Champion. With silent rubber soles (superb for sneaking up!), and a featherweight feel, the Champion more than lived up to its playfully confident name. On legends and icons, it danced through the decades to become a true-blue American go-to.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Keds have a great selection of footwear in its Summer 12\u2019 collection &#8211; a variety of colours to match any outfit &#8211; come rain or shine! Elysium Magazine had a Keds day &#8211; the team wearing a trendy pair of Keds for the days &#8211; testing them out and about in London.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The team were fairly pleased with the results! the variety in the range meant that in the heat-wave &#8211; the Keds made the outfit. In the Jubilee downpour, the Keds still held their own!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the <strong>Champion range<\/strong>, the slip-ons are great! Lazy weekends coming up? Just slip on a pair and get to it, comfortable and stylish you wont be disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Keds are a great American original shoe which has continued to keep up with the latest trends &#8211; <strong>Mischa Barton<\/strong> rocked a pair every now and then &#8211; and did it with style! Even funny man Owen Wilson couldn\u2019t resist that relaxed feeling when he stepped out for a red carpet premier! Although we are not sure the suit and Keds combination is a winner this time round!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-4346 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.elysium-uk.com\/site\/desire\/style\/summer-of-style-keds-for-men\/attachment\/keds-2\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elysium-uk.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Keds-2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elysium-uk.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Keds-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.elysium-uk.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Keds-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elysium-uk.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Keds-2.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.elysium-uk.com\/site\/desire\/style\/summer-of-style-keds-for-men\/attachment\/keds-red\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elysium-uk.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/keds-red-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elysium-uk.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/keds-red-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.elysium-uk.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/keds-red-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.elysium-uk.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/keds-red.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.elysium-uk.com\/site\/desire\/style\/summer-of-style-keds-for-men\/attachment\/burberry-suit-owen-wilson\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elysium-uk.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/burberry-suit-owen-wilson-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.elysium-uk.com\/site\/desire\/style\/summer-of-style-keds-for-men\/attachment\/7341690748_dc038e13a3_d\/'><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elysium-uk.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/7341690748_dc038e13a3_d-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>A perfect pair of weekend shoes, with the style a discerning gent needs to continue with in the weekend, are here! <strong><a title=\"KEDS UK\" href=\"http:\/\/www.keds.co.uk\">Keds<\/a><\/strong> are priced from \u00a339.99 upwards and available from <strong><a title=\"Next\" href=\"http:\/\/www.next.co.uk\">Next<\/a><\/strong>, Office and <strong><a title=\"ASOS Men\" href=\"http:\/\/www.asos.com\/Men\/?r=2\" target=\"_blank\">ASOS<\/a><\/strong>.
