Things Get Hairy For Keds & Opening Ceremony

Filed Under: Anglophilia Fashion Smashion Collection's Bureau Shoes! Shoes! Shoes!

The people over at Opening Ceremony sure are busy!

First, the star-studded opening of their flagship store in Tokyo. Next, their collaboration with Spike Jonze on the Where The Wild Things Are garb.

Now, the high-end boutique has debuted their awesome and funky new Keds collection. According to Opening Ceremony, "in keeping with our penchant for internationalism, each Keds collection will look to a single country for inspiration."

Their second collaboration with the footwear brand, the boutique looked to British subculture as inspiration for the lace-up kicks, which are animal-printed ponyhair. Their first collection with Keds, a U.S.-inspired Americana-themed collection of red, white, and blue sneaks, was somewhat underwhelming.

These, however, are absolutely the most. And, at $125 a pair, the kicks are a good way to get in on the animal-print trend without shelling out too much dough.

And who doesn't love a ponyhair sneaker?!
