"You guys may remember that I&amp;#39;ve been obsessed with Keds ever since the fourth grade, when my own personal version of the &amp;quot;after school special&amp;quot; was watching Dirty Dancing every day for about, oh, six months straight. Now the shoes that made Baby a fashion icon in my eyes is getting the green treatment, courtesy of Loomstate.\nPinterestFacebookKeds has teamed up with the organic brand Loomstate (who you may remember from their Target line a couple of months back) to offer shoes that are made of 100% certified organic cotton, nickel free eyelets and 100% recycled insoles--and they come in recycled shoe boxes, naturally. The Organic Exchange, which does its part to better the economy and the environment through organic agriculture, will also receive a percentage of the profits.\nPinterestFacebookEach pair is $75 and will be sold exclusively at select Barneys stores and at barneys.com. I&amp;#39;ve gotta say, I already have a soft spot for Keds thanks to Kellerman&amp;#39;s, but Loomstate designers Rogan Gregory and Scott Hahn have put a super-cute twist on the classic that remind me of the arts and crafts shack at camp in the best way possible. Remember when you used to pull the laces out of yours and cover them with splatter paint? It&amp;#39;s already been done here, but a.) by professionals and b.) with the earth in mind. The best little detail? The iconic blue rubber tag has been replaced by a green one.\nHave you guys made the move towards organic clothing and shoes yet? Has Keds by Loomstate enticed you?
