Keds is kicking it old school this summer with some good, old-fashioned Archie Comics vibes. Riverdale fans, you can get your hands on sneakers with the iconic duo of Betty and Veronica on them.
If you are a fan of Riverdale, then you already know who Archie, Jughead, Veronica, and Betty are. And you likely know that the characters are based on an iconic comic book series from Archie Comics. Well, if you love the comics and the characters of Betty and Veronica, you can snag yourself new Keds featuring the iconic duo.
There is now a special collection from Keds featuring the old-school Betty and Veronica from the original Archie Comics. And yes, we are totally here for this capsule collection, as Betty and Veronica have long been trendsetters in the comic world. (Betty and Veronica were two of the first women in comics to get their own comic book!)
Not only are Keds the perfect summer sneakers, but they have been very focused on female empowerment. And thanks to this amazing team up, not only do we get an iconic female duo, but we are also getting to rock our Riverdale pride. This special collection features six different sneakers to choose from in a variety of colors, including a traditional white.
Take the classic silhouette of the Keds, add in Betty and Veronica’s faces embroidered into the material, make them lace up and slip-on options, and you have a sneaker collection that is a must-have for the summer.
Of course, some of the shoes mix things up by giving us additional bits from the classic comic strips. Depending on the sneaker, you can find ice cream cones from Pop’s, milkshakes, telephones, and even comic book word bubbles (think the classic Batman TV show where you saw the “Bam” and “Pow” in comic book lettering on-screen).
This collection is available now on the Keds website, and ranges in price from $59.95 to $74.95. Sneakers are always a good investment, with other fandoms joining in on the sneaker craze including Captain Marvel and The Walking Dead. But when you can throw in classic characters like Betty and Veronica, then you really can’t go wrong.
As with any collaboration, this is a limited edition capsule, so once these sneakers sell out, they likely won’t be back. So grab yourself a pair with your favorite design while you can, because this really is the perfect chance to show some love to Betty and Veronica and the iconic Archie Comics.
