"This collection marks an exciting time for two beloved brands to seamlessly bring to life the creative fashion minds of two teams."

The collaborative collection will be available for purchase from Spring 2023. The collection features a range of new sneaker styles in various colorways, as they have reinterpreted the signature Keds silhouettes for their Spring 2023 line.

The footwear collection at the Womenswear label fashion show in New York City featured a few never-seen-before sneaker styles, which merged the two distinct brand esthetics.

In an official press release, Joseph Altuzarra, the founder of the eponymous label, commented upon the partnership with Keds:

"I am so thrilled to be collaborating with Keds this season. Their iconic brand language and heritage were a huge source of inspiration, and the resulting footwear collection adds an exciting and dynamic layer to the show."

The most prominent footwear silhouette from the collaborative collection is the Renaissance sneakers, inspired by the archival Keds' runner silhouette.

The shoes come from satin underlays, and the uppers are crafted with ripped and distressed canvas uppers. The design is finished off with suede and leather overlays.

The brand introduces the silhouette with the following words:

"The ‘Renaissance’ sneakers form part of a capsule collection made in collaboration with Keds. Inspired by archival Keds runner silhouettes."

The footwear silhouette is reimagined with a unique style and luxe fabrications and can be availed in khaki and black colorways. The shoes can be pre-ordered on the official e-commerce site of Altuzarra for a retail price of $180.

In addition to the Renaissance, the collaboration also features two Champion makeovers at a retail price of $140. However, it is yet to be released.
