keds.jpgUPDATE:  It’s Official – our 2 lucky winners are  Jessica T and Michelle H.  Thanks to everyone for participating.  Enter our latest giveaway for a chance to win an iPhone 4 Case made of recycled plastic.  (original post follows…)

Having grown up in Keds, I’m kind of excited about the introduction of the Organic Champions - Keds’ latest take on their classic sneaker, and newest addition to their green lineup.  Absent are pesticides, herbicides and bleach in the making of this eco sneak. It has uppers made of 100% organic cotton; stitched eyelets; tea-stained laces and 15% recycled rubber outsoles.

Outfitted in a complimentary pair of slip-ons, I’ve been bouncing around town in these cute and comfy kicks, feeling light and green every step of the way.  Enter our Great Green Giveaway and start channeling your best Marilyn or Jackie O…style icons who flitted about in the Champion back in the day.

2 lucky winners will be selected in our Random Drawing, and notified by email. Contest ends Monday, October 25, 2010 at 11:59p (EST). Winners have 24 hours to claim their prize, or that offer is null and void. Winners’ names will be included on this post.  Retail value:  $55 + free delivery to anywhere in the USA or Canada.  Winner will receive either lace-up or slip-on style, available in neutral, in their choice of ladies’ sizes 5-11, medium width.

To enter, simply:

  • Check out Keds’ new Organic Champions: the Organic Slip On and Organic Lace Up.
