Shoe News: EOS x Keds

Sweet Kicks and Soft Kisses

Keds (which seems to keep its name current via Taylor Swift collaborations) are a springtime favorite of mine because of their classic appeal, and in recent years, I've become a fan of the emolience that is eos (evolution of smooth) lip balm pods. The two brands decided to partner on a capsule collection, thanks to fans showing lots of love for a recent joint post on Instagram. Availble for $50- $55 and  exclusively at Shoe Carnival, the sneakers will each come with an eos Smooth Lip Sphere in a corresponding color.  Shoppers can choose from the following Keds x eos options:

• Champion eos Passion Fruit (lavender)
• Champion eos Blueberry Acai (light blue)
• Double Up eos Raspberry (dark pink).

My favorite eos flavor is the mint, so I actually wish they'd done a sneaker to correspond with that one, but the ight blue colorway is suddenly high on my consideration list. What about you? Will your kicks match your kisses this spring?

Shoe News: Aldo's Deal with JC Penney

J.C. Penney & Aldo, A Perfect Pair?

J.C. Penney recently inked a deal to become the exclusive U.S. department store retailer for Canadian-based Aldo's brand, Call it Spring.  Starting in Fall 2010, with the J.C. Penney flagship store in New York's Manhattan Mall, shoppers will be able to score Call it Spring shoes in a store-within-a-store setting. The brand, which is target at consumers between 15 and 30 years old, will also be sold in Aldo stores and via the company's website. We at S&B are already familiar with Spring shoes. We just wonder if the Call it Spring line in J.C. Penney will be any different.
